Official Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

WELL WHO IS BETTER; here is a list of maybe some of the tops


Cooper Kopp
Tryrek Hill
DeAndre Hopkins
Justin Jefferson
Jamar Chase
Deebo Samueal (maybe/maybe not but I think he belongs mention as all around player)
AJ Brown
Stephan Diggs

Production wise only Kopp had a better year I think

Yeah this is hard to argue with, good point. Tyreek is certainly super dangerous. Hopkins is probably a little better though injury prone. Chase is more talented than everyone up there. The rest are good players similar to Adams.

I guess there isn't a clear super star freak type receiver right now like Calvin or Julio or Randy or TO that is physically a mismatch.

DK Metcalf.

Are any of those from other teams mentioned free agents? Not that I'd advocated spending what it would take to get them even if they were.

OBJ might be available. Dude was the missing piece but Ball and Murphy lowballed him. Now we get to watch OBJ win the Bowl.

[texaspackerbacker]

I didn't see OBJ on the list above hahahaha. I didn't want him in mid-season, and I don't think he'd be much of a step up now from what we have - not even close to the star quality guys mentioned from other teams.

I heard that MLF is sniffing around Mariota.

Anyone else see or hear that?

[Freak Out]

Not I.

He is the right style of qb for his o. But he needs help from his receivers.

[call_me_ishmael]

The thing that I keep coming back to when I see people saying they can build a great D and get by with a middle of the road quarterback with the system.

That's good and nice and all but recent history shows us that's not true. The two other teams having lots of success with this offensive system and great defensive's bailed on their middle-of-the-road QBs to try to land a superstar.

[Bretsky]

Bills had the top D ppg in the NFL and got shredded in AFC Game. Bengals and Chiefs and Rams all have stud QB's. Jimmy not so much IMO

[George Cumby]

Nuts and bolts question:

When can trades take place? Is it open season or coincide with the FA period?

I would think trades can start with 1st day of new league year and start of free agency which is March 16. Teams can apply franchise tag on players Feb 22. Deadline for applying franchise tag is March 8.

So all the Rats who wanted the Pack to "cook the cap" to gather as much talent as possible . . . that was this season.

No Super Bowl. Hell, no NFC Championship Game.

And now, cap hell to pay. Even if the cap goes up, it goes up for all, and the Pack is still behind the eight ball.

So you have to admit that Gutes tried it, and it didn't work.

And the thing of it is, the pieces were falling into place: the team had battled through serious adversity, were getting lots of good players back just in time for the big games, even the future match-up, the Rams was to their advantage and they choked it away.

Disappointing.
