New from JSOnline and PackersNews: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to reunite with Mike McCarthy, sign with Dallas Cowboys https://ift.tt/3abDFsc #Packers

I wonder if Ebron has a SHIT attittude.

WHY would the Bears sign F'ckin Jimmmmmy for eight mil a year over Ebron ????????/

I have heard reports that he is a terrible locker room guy.

I think you're giving Perry too much credit and Matthews too little, pbm. If we signed Matthews now, he wouldn't be an every down player barring injuries. He would basically be doing what Fackrell did - a little of this, a little of that. In his last year or two with the Packers, I liked him a lot better at ILB than OLB. I think it's safe to say, though, he'd be better than Fackrell either place - for a year or two anyway.

He was a mess inside early. He admitted he just wasn't familiar with the position or his keys. It took him the bye week to get somewhat straightened out. Ask Nutz, sometimes he was just running around back there. But he could hold his ground, chase and pursue. He also wasn't afraid to jump across the line looking for a TFL.

But the run D improved almost immediately with Perry out there. Perry was a disappointment overall for a #1, but he has his strengths. He could hold an edge like no one else. He was almost the rare two gapping 3-4 OLB. Perry made the run D better and when Matthews got comfortable, that D climbed all the way to average by the end of the year.

DAM

DEAR GOOTER..............

DELANIE WALKER is better than anybody on our roster even though he is old

[Joemailman]

Not just old, but been hurt the last 2 years. Before that he was probably one of the top 10 TE's in the NFL. Have to wonder if he's got much left. I'd be okay with signing him as long as there's little guaranteed money.

[smuggler]

His ankle injury was devastating. The kind of injury that a lot of young guys never recover from. He suffered it two years ago. Dude's done, most likely.

[Joemailman]

Danny Vitale going to Patriots.

[smuggler]

Vitale was an interesting talent, but even in our offense fullbacks don't get used. Sad to see him go, but it won't impact the offense too much.

[pbmax]

Maybe, but losing Vitale just seems like losing a valuable piece of offensive talent. Underused and probably a failure of the offense.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Emmanuel Sanders had appealing NFC options. Sanders spoke with the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers, but preferred to wind up with the New Orleans Saints, where he land d a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $19 million.

[Deputy Nutz]

That's just to pricey of a tag for the Packer right now. They will have to get better at wide receiver through the draft and with guys they currently have on the roster

[Bretsky]

I have heard reports that he is a terrible locker room guy.

That would make sense; 6MIL/yr is a good value for Ebron IMO. Dude seems to have very natural talent

[Bretsky]

Perriman would not be a bad signing
