2020 free agency thread

Actually, I would like to discuss the longsnapper. Bradley needs to be replaced. He was just as inconsistent this year as last. Again, not horrible, but not deadly accurate either. Scott saved his bacon several times on both placekicks and punts.

I did not see a bad snap yesterday, but was that the cause of the bad punt?

[pbmax]

put him on IR. That's my stock answer.

Bulaga is the pitcher that the baseball team puts on 14 day IR. Retroactive to 9 days ago.

I would like to see the Packers make a run for Nick Kwiatkoski ILB from the bears...Kid played lights out when stepping in for R.Smith when he was injured and would hurt the Bears while getting us some inside linebacker help.

Kwiatkowski and Danny Trevathan are both UFA's for the Bears. Probably can't sign both. My guess they will prioritize Kwiatkowski who is younger and less injury prone. Would be a nice guy to get though.

I don’t give a fuck what any of you say. Sign Antonio Brown. Rodgers can handle him.

[Teamcheez1]

How much are the Pack willing to pay to keep Bulaga and Martinez?

Bulaga did well this year, but his age and injuries may rear their head next year.
Martinez is dependable, but nothing flashy.

Are you willing to pay $8M+ to each player, or will they take a discount?

Lol Your Hommie took up a rapping career...No Antonio For You...

Bulaga better be a lot cheaper than that. Martinez might be more expensive. I could see signing A. Brown if we get the word he ain't gonna be suspended. That's more sure than drafting somebody that may or may not pan out.

[Joemailman]

Brown is a complete nut case at this point. Maybe due to playing too much football. Drew Rosenhaus just cut ties with him. Sign A.J. Green if you want to spend big bucks on a big name WR.

That's funny because OBJ is the same, except he plays too little football.

We are seriously talking about the kicker?

Crosby is worth keeping IMO at the right price. Teams were desperate for finding serviceable kickers. Sam Ficken (GB camp body) ended up kicking for the Jets, last year MIN cut their rookie draft pick kicker in week 2 to sign journeyman Dan Bailey off the couch... and do we need to talk about the Bears kickers?

You are begging the question: what is the right price?

I would rather spend $1 million too much on a kicker than not enough.

[call_me_ishmael]

Meh, I feel like a rookie free agent would do just fine and hit 80% of the kicks. If you save 4-5M doing that, that feels like a win to me.

[Zool]

Until he misses 2 game winning kicks against the Lions and the Packers end up 11-5 getting swept by the Lions.
