Official Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[red]

Why does everyone even float the idea of moving on from Amos? You don't get rid of good players like that that are page a modest rate. He would get a huge raise on the open market so I'm sure *he'd love that*. You don't get rid of players like that.

because we are running out of other ways to get under the cap

I read Pack hasn't filed paperwork on Campbell yet, to help them get under the cap. Haven't heard of any other moves, although I suspect an extension for Amos might have been done.

No to Black, C. Rivers

Black played a lot so somewhat of a surprise he is not back

[Sparkey]

Cobb restructured deal. Takes 5.5m paycut.

That's about what I expected regarding Cobb. Regarding Henry Black, I think we still have Vernon Scott who seemed to be a better player than Black before he got hurt. As for Amos, if the cap situation is now taken care of, as it should be with the Cobb transaction, they can take their time with him. I don't think anybody is "floating the idea" of moving on from Amos, just restructuring to be farther under the cap in order to sign other people. Ditto that with doing what needs to be done with Alexander. Hopefully the announcement comes soon that we retain Douglas too. Tonyan and MVS need to get taken care of. I'm beginning to worry a little bit about MVS, but still maybe 60/40 IMO we keep him. Get Davante extended by July, and all is well.

[Sparkey]

I don't think MVS or Tonyan will be coming back.

I really like Amos but I think he's fairly paid. A good reliable safety, but not a star/playmaker.
If they let him go I'd guess he gets a similar contract elsewhere.

Disappointed but I expected they'd massage AROD's nuts by bringing Cobb back. I thought last year he might produce about 50 catches and 500 yards and use his ability to come back to the ball a few times per game in key spots. But he didn't. Now he's a year older. Seems like a wasted spot when we could try to develop somebody with some upside (like Rodgers or Winfree, or God Help up, a High Draft pick at WR ??

I know I'm not alone when I say this, but perhaps the Minority.

We need to get BETTER at WR. Two years ago, when we needed 10 yards in the playoffs to advance, four times in a row we didn't have the personnell to get open. Yes, AROD should have run on 3rd down, but gosh it would've been nice to have a reliable #2 WR with the talent to be one. And in the playoff lost last yr we needed more players not named Devante Adams getting open consistently. It doesn't happy enough.

So MVS, thinks for the memories but go get your money in the AFC.

Now I'll start dreaming about our next WR; perhaps the Alabama Slamma who is injured and has been getting mock drafted in the 25-32 range ?

Ya'all can still be as negative as you want, but I'm predicting 80/20 on Tonyan and 60/40 on MVS to stay.

He could put up those kind of numbers if he could stay healthy. Last year he had 375 yards and 5 TD's in 12 games. Problem is he's missed 5 or more games 3 out of the last 4 seasons.

Unfortunately, I don't think he'll last that long. He was probably a top 10 pick before the injury. Someone will take a chance on him. I'm just hoping Vikings don't get him to pair with Justin Jefferson.

I don't know. That's basically what Cobb did. He had 39 catches and 5 TDs, but he missed 5 games. Pro-rated over a full season, that's 55 catches and 6 TDs.

I was late to the party.
