Official Free Agency/Offseason/Non-Draft Thread

I think once adams and z are restructured we could get Desmond king or Mike Hilton which would allow us to trade up and get a defensive interior in the draft of higher quality.
Then maybe wr in second rd. Heck we might even be able to find a good #2 cheap this year. The go dl 1st ol 2nd qb 3rd in draft.

Bears are 23M over the cap and have Foles at QB. Wonder what they'll do to get under. Probably looking to extend Allen Robinson and maybe restructure Mack's contract. Mack has a cap number of almost 27M this year.

What about the Vikings. How’s their cap looking

We keep love because it would be stupid not to.

Date a stripper or marry quality.

To your first point: exactly.

To your second: can't it be both?

In this senario marrying a quality stripper is mahomes I think. 10 yr contract on a young stud. Hurts a bit now but will look great at the end

They've got about 5M in cap space. They released OT Riley Rieff, K Dan Bailey and TE Kyle Rudolph.

We keep love because it would be stupid not to. I bet we draft a qb in 2nd or 3rd to replace Boyle.

We need to keep a long term outlook. I would rather have 10 or 15 years of competing every year than a 1 and done sb appearance. I became a packers fan around 77. As a teen I was convinced majik was the second coming .
Seriously I much prefer every year mostly mattering to one year of glory.

Date a stripper or marry quality.

Maybe not in the 2nd or 3rd round, but they should keep drafting QBs. Ron Wolf:

1992 - Traded a 1st for Brett Favre and drafted Ty Detmer
1993 - Drafted Mark Brunell
1995 - Drafted Jay Barker
1996 - Drafted Kyle Wachholtz
1998 - Drafted Matt Hasselbeck
1999 - Drafted Aaron Brooks

Ted Thompson only drafted 2 QBs in his last 10 drafts. Gutekunst should get back to the Ron Wolf philosophy. Some times they miss, but sometimes they hit big-time.

The "legal tampering" period begins today. Teams can begin negotiations with players who will become UFA's on 3-17. New league year starts at 4PM ET on 3-17. I believe teams must be under salary cap by then.

Shaq Barrett staying with Bucs on 4 year, 72M deal. 36M guaranteed.

The Packers are not tendering restricted free agent safety Raven Greene, per source. He'll be an unrestricted free agent.

Good player when healthy, but that's not often enough. Worth trying to bring him back, but not worth tendering.

Assuming the Z restructure takes care of the Jones money and then some, we should be ahead of the cap by a few million right now with Rodgers and D. Adams deals still to be done, putting us a lot farther ahead of the cap. Of our own FAs, the only ones even remotely likely for significant money are Linsley and J. Williams. That leaves a helluva lot of money to go after whoever at whatever position. My guess would be a good quality Corner and maybe some D Line help.

Lindsey rumored to be signing with the Chargers as the highest paid center in football.

Is that enough for a 3rd round comp pick? I'm thinking 4th.
