Official Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

Smith signed with Minnesota

They signed Jarran Reed. I think I like it. Man would I love it though if a DL or Premier edgy in R1 though. Harv would you happy with one of the Georgia boys, namely the gigantic DT who could be a solid end or maybe even the Rashan Gary clone at edge? Given that they haven't moved on from Dynamic Dean Lowry, is it safe to say he's back w/ the Pack next year?

If you leave this draft with a DL, OLB, two WR, and a stud college linemen in the first 5 picks, I would feel very, very good about the roster for the upcoming season. Especially if they took a flyer on Julio down by the school yard.

Reed had a great year in 2018, and has been up and down statistically since then. He has been durable, starting every game the last 2 years. He's listed as 6-3, 313 lbs.

Big mean dude, can really play when he wants to. Not sure he always wants to. Lancaster is a FA and Keke is gone, so they need someone to play on the DL. So the DL group is now Clark, Reed, Lowry, Slaton and Trashcan Heflin. Would be nice to see them draft another DL to develop as a long-term running mate for Kenny.

I think this is a big deal.

He's got some tread on his tires, don't need to burn a pick on inside DL this year.

He's pretty active, can spell Big KC or could we put him next to Clark with Smith and Gary on the edges? That sounds like a matchup problem for the O.

[George Cumby]

Yeah.

Good pick up.

Big, strong, active, fast.

Watched some film of him that Larry McCarren went through. He was lining up all over the line, not just NT or 1T.

My opinion on Reed is an above average to low end good player.
Best part of the pick up and what makes him a great fit is availability. Always ready to go and plays lits of snaps. He will make the others better because they can breath a bit. Never played less tham 75% of the snaps from what ive read.
Can flash the occasional big play, but I like consistant

Chiefs have signed former Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per @AdamSchefter.

More wideout reinforcements on the way ������

Supposedly $30 up to $36 million over 3 years. I thought we'd keep him. I wish we'd kept him, but not at that price. Good job, MVS, taking advantage of the Chiefs.

So far we let go Davante, MVS, Zadarius and Patrick. Clearly the cap has an affect because there is no reason to get worse if you can just sign everyone. In fact, why not sign everyone and go out and get free agents if there is no such thing as the cap??

Are those players actually better than a draft pick or a different player at the same dollar amount would be? Man, IDK, Davante is overrated IMO. Been saying he was a #2 (foolishly) for years. He is a good #1 but he isn't Randy Moss or a game changer. He's Reggie Wayne (maybe).

Zadarius is another good player and solid pass rusher who could very well be missed and return to his stud status. We shall see.

MVS - meh.

[run pMc]

MVS signs with KC, 3 year $30M+ deal. Good for him. Wish him luck.
Too rich for my blood personally.

EDIT: saw others already posted. Nevermind.

Packers will likely make a move for a WR, but it might not happen until after the draft. Teams that are able to draft WR's may look to unload veterans. Last year, Devondre Campbell didn't sign until June. Packers traded for Randall Cobb on the eve of the season. Rasul Douglas was picked up after the season started.
