I don’t think any of them are real divas.
I can understand why some here want to move on from Aaron but the amount of silly comments by fans deserves some balance. I’ve been fine moving on from AR since M3 left. It’s a young mans game for the most part.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

FWIW (i.e., not much until confirmed) ESPN and NFL reporters are saying on social media that NYJ are going after Lazard and have interest in Cobb and Big Dog. They wouldn't do that unless Rodgers was a very good bet to join them.
The Bears have been pretty active -- I thought they did ok with their trade out of #1, until someone pointed out others have gotten more. Still, they have DJ Moore, Mooney, ESB, Claypool, and Velus Jones. Not a bad group.
Adding to the OL is a smart move for them. I wonder if they keep David Montgomery... I kind of doubt i..
Trading Roquan and then signing Edwards and Edmunds is kind of an interesting move. Roquan is better than either of them, but both are solid guys. Still, they have issues elsewhere on defense, seems a little weird to drop so much money into ILBs. They did front load a lot of it, so their current cap space can eat it up. Still a lot of dough, and in a year where there are some good off ball LBs in the draft.
Bringing back Keisean is a good move, but surprised it's only a 1 year deal. I guess is basically a 1 year $4M with another $2M in incentives, so not bad. My guess is Nixon wanted more money and longer contract but GB didn't want to pay that much for a #4CB/KR. Happy for the guy though - seems like a good teammate. I don't expect GB to be big players in FA, maybe picking up a cheap vet at S or WR who can be reliable. They've worked some real magic finding gems the last two years with Nixon, Rasul, Devondre... maybe they get lucky again.

If true, this is the biggest shocker so far. I'd take Jamaal over Montgomery any day.Jason B. Hirschhorn
Adding David Montgomery strongly suggests that the #Lions won't bring back Jamaal Williams.
Perhaps a certain quarterback might add Williams to his wish list.I can't run no more

I don't read every article that comes down the pike.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostYou didn't read that Rapaport and Shefter disagreed with Wingo?
That's like trying to pick fly shit out of pepper.
I use PR and my phone as my filter.
When I see a flock of posts and a GIF of Mad doing a Mexican war dance, I'll know the deal is down and I can start reading stuff.
Why do you read all this shit if you think those guys are pukes, goofs, etc?

That's really a no-brainer. To get a starting RT for < $5M is rare.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostPackers have placed 2nd round tender on RFA Yosh Nijman. It is worth 4.3 million.
Andre Dillard has started all of 5 games in his career and just got paid about $9-10M/year.
After the Chris Lindstrom contract, the Elgton Jenkins contract looks like a steal too.
First week of FA is always crazy. Teams overpay all the time.
I'm very curious to find out how the redshirt guys (Sean Rhyan, Rasheed Walker, Caleb Jones) look in camp. If 2 out of those 3 turn into serviceable players, they are in good shape. Hell, if one of Walker/Jones can fill in at RT, that's a big deal. It's very difficult to have 3 OL on expensive 2nd or 3rd contracts, and they have Bakh and Jenkins there now.
(I think Zach Tom is the future LT, but GB might not see it that way.)

In brief service, don’t remember if it was preseason or if he got a few snaps, but Rasheed Walker seemed to move well at tackle. Rhyan, who knows. But yeah, let’s hope.

Yeah, agree.Originally posted by red View Postlol, pats sign ju ju for 3 years 33 million
about the same that lazard got
i would take ju ju all day long over lazard, and its not even close
juju is a #1, lazard is a #3
NE loses Jacobi Meyers for that amount. Getting Ju Ju for that is pretty good. Not sure he's a #1 but he's a good #2 for sure.
Lazard is a good #3 so a step up. The Lazard signing was clearly to lure Rodgers. The Jets WR room wasn't the problem last year.

Packers signed Tyler Davis after not tendering him. Probably league minimum contract or close to it.I can't run no more
