OFFSEASON FREE AGENTS PACK MUST SIGN: VOTE & COMMENT
That sucks, Jon Clayton was just saying that he wasn't going to get tagged. I wasn't big on him as a Packers anyways, but it's kind of a bummer to hear that the Packers won't be bidding on yet another player.
Everything recent I'm seeing says he will not be tagged...even KFFL isn't reporting he's tagged; do you have a link tophat?
NFL NETWORK NEWS/SOURCE HAD IT WRONG. HE IS NOT TAGGED, BUT WE WILL KNOW TODAY ABSOLUTELY EITHER WAY!
Baltimore Sun blog about Thomas and Lewis:
Despite speculation, the Ravens have yet to put the franchise tag on linebacker Adalius Thomas. The Ravens are still in last-minute negotiations, and they will probably carry on until tomorrow morning. It still seems likely the Ravens will allow Thomas to hit the free-agent market unless they can reach an agreement. Also, the Ravens have had some talks with running back Jamal Lewis, but have not reached an agreement.
...The Packers talked to Cullen Jenkins agent last night and are meeting today. They both are optimistic a deal can or will get done, but if not the Packers will put a tender on Jenkins (I was told a 1st round tender). Either way, I was told that the Packers will still go hard after Adalius Thomas, who they consider the top free agent on the market. Speaking of Thomas, he will NOT be named the Ravens "Franchise player". They believe they can resign him while he is on the market, not to mention they would be over the cap if the did tender him. The 49ers and Packers are the front runners tom land him, but the Raiders, Jets, Patriots and Browns also have an interest in him.
Packers GM Ted Thompson caught flack for trading down in round 2 when Chad Jackson (the former WR from Florida) was available, and drafting Greg Jennings. But Thompson was not sold on Jackson's health or ability to stay healthy. Well that instinct proved right as Jackson was hampered by nagging injuries all year and now it comes out he tore his ACL in the AFC title game.
In a seemingly confirmation of what they plan to do in the draft The Green Bay Packers are said to have created a virtual chamber where a player enters it and is shown a number plays on a screen and they are asked to determine the scheme and packages and how they would direct the defense. The Packers are taking the lead in the use of this new technology that has been used by Oklahoma and Auburn Packers FB William Henderson wants to return, but the ball is in the Packers court and they are deciding on whether or not they want him back. I was told they will give him word in the upcoming weeks.
Reports surfaced yesterday linking Houston and Denver to Packers RB Ahman Green, but other teams, most notably the Jets, Giants, Browns, Lions and Vikings also have interest. Green, who needs just 45 yards to break Jim Taylor's Packers all time rushing mark, wants to resign with the Packers, who are open to a bringing him back, at the right price....
Sporting News magazine, at its end of the NFL section, had a Hard Truth section AND about GB:
QB Brett favre is coming back for another year, but anybody who thinks the Packers are playoff-worthy right now needs a reality check. GM TT needs to make a bold move, the way former GM Ron Wolf did when he signed DE Reggie White, picked up WR Andre Rison, and traded for FS Eugene Robinson. There are ways to make GB dramatically better in the short term, and Thompson needs to look beyond the draft.
