  • I haven’t heard much about the free agent class at linebacker. Anybody have any insight, or random, unsupported, yet firmly held opinions on this topic?

      Per sources, Packers have re-signed TE Tyler Davis, the backup/special teams ace who tore his ACL in the preseason last year. He’s expected to be ready for the start of training camp, if not sooner.

      Packers ST coordinator Rich Bisaccia and coach Matt LaFleur love Davis.

        Packers will create $10.5 million of salary cap space with release of inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell on Wednesday https://jsonline.com/story/sports/nf...k/72841050007/ via @journalsentinel
        With a June 1 designation, so that cap space will not be available until later.

        • the June 1 thing is surprising, I thought GB doesn't usually do that.

          • Now just 2 Ted Thompson Packers left. Kenny Clark and Aaron Jones.

              • Packers expected to sign Josh Jacobs… backup to Jones or hedge if he doesn’t restructure?

                • Sounds like a good tandem. Jones is always on a pitch count, and Jacobs is a guy who is similar to Jones in style.

                  • Looking like it's happening. Jacobs and Aaron Jones would be quite a backfield duo, assuming they keep Jones.

                    • Jacobs had an off year last year on a terrible Raiders offense, but was fantastic in 2022.

                      • Good-bye and good luck, AJ. Wish you the best with your new team.

                        EDit: I may have spoken too soon. I just looked up some numbers, and this dude made $11M last year. They're not adding that kind of payroll to back up Jones; I think they're replacing him.

                          They're not looking for a backup to Jones. They're looking for a tandem.

                            Is it worth upwards of $22M a year for those two?

                              WR's and TE's on rookie contracts, I'm no capologist, but I think they've got room.

                              • If the Packers are making this move, they have already talked with Jones. I would expect he is willing to take a pay cut and get a deal that ensures he retires a Packer. The tandem role would actually extend Jones’ career, and provide coverage if either guy gets dinged.

                                Jones showed the value of a RB to this offense last year. The team can’t afford to not have a capable full service back available at all times.
