Packers FA Plans

[RashanGary]

It's more likely Spitz and Colledge but even Spitz and Moll are inspiring confidence in me for their second years. I think the Gaurd problem is solved Bretsky. I think their weakness has more to do with youth at a postion that requires man power.

We'll find out though. I'd be inclined ot bet on those three all panning out. They played good football for a bunch of rookies. Really good considering their age.

It's easy - and fun - to be a fan and say Ted should do this, Ted should do that. I like it. But the truth is that it's much more complicated. It's easy to say we should sign (for example) Ken Hamlin. Sure. Cool. But you're competing with other teams, and you've got to decide at what point you'd be paying too much. Do you sign Hamlin to some huge long term deal because he'd "fix" the safety spot for the next three years - if he doesn't get hurt (again)? If so, what happens when he becomes a liability in year four (if you get even three good years from him) and you go into training camp with a slowing, ineffective safety who's on the books for six mil for the year? And what if you happen to know that Underwood is rehabbing like a beast and you've seen the lights go on in his head as far as how to play the position, AND you know of a couple of safeties in the draft you think can become very good pros and maybe will be available in the third or fourth round?

It'd be a tough job. But since I'm a fan, I say what the hell - spend some cash, Ted!

I don't think we need to spend our money on a veteran OG who may or may not start. We have three young guys competing for two spots. All three did okay starting their rookie year. I say let them compete for those two spots. We definitely need a safety, possibly a LB, and some young CBs (probably in the draft). More than anything, we need some playmakers on offense. Considering there aren't many any free agency, we might have to settle on finishing the rebuilding on defense and hope we can get some kids on offense in the draft.

You have more faith than I do in the ability of Spitz and Moll; I'd feel better with a vet OG and give them the opportunity to beat him out.

i'm with you 100% on this one B

I heard Matt O'Dwyer's available.

Well last year TT went mainly defense in FA by signing Woodson, Pickett, and Manual. So, he is probably targeting 2-3 players again, with them primarily being on defense. I would ove to see them go after at least one big name FA player on the offensive side.

AKA Randy Moss

It is possible but I would be extremely surprised if we ever traded for Moss. However, I have been wrong before.

I am predicting we address our offensive needs thru Free Agency via Johnson or Grahm at TE and Stallworth at WR. We will draft primarily with defense (CB/S, DL) along with a running back or 2 in the later rounds. No need to spend a first round pick on a questionable character(Lynch) or even a RB in the first round.

It seems to me that TE would be one of the best places for this team to spend reasonable $ in FA and get a significant boost on the offensive side of the ball. Any veteran offensive FA at any receiving position would contribute faster than a typical rookie would, so I'd rather see Ted get offensive help through FA and continue drafting defense.
