Green Bay and Chicago (only teams without a signing)

[justanotherpackfan]

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are the only two teams in the NFL who have not signed a free agent.

Bright side ?

If we end up with 11 draft picks after the trade downs most will probably be able to make the team with all the holes left ?

Well, there goes the argument, that 1/3 of the league "has not been active in free agency, WHAT is the rush?".

What a joke.

I say we all meet at the Big Ten Tourney and suck some brewski's tomorrow.

1) Cullen Jenkins RFA They signed a defensive lineman who can play all four positions and rarely gets injured. Good attitude guy.

2) They signed one of the most expensive Free Agent longsnappers in the league.

3) They got great value in TE Donald Lee for 595K minimum plus "modest bonus". He has 63 catches for 664 yards in 4 years. That in a market where the vikings paid 18 million over 5 years with 7 guaranteed for a TE with 35 catches and 253 yards in the same 4 years.

4) Added LB Tracy White and 5 year veteran OL Andrew Walter.


There is some lack of research.

Have one for me.

Free agent signings within the organization don't count i.e Cullen Jenkins, Tracy White, etc.

I believe Hamlin will be here when its all done and that will make me happy. Most of these FA are just guys, no need to worry....If your going to sign just guys, why not wait until the price goes down!

[LEWCWA]

Don't you guys see where FA gets you. Just look at the Vikes and Redskins! Why pay top $$ for people others don't want!

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think it's as ludicrous to say that signing FAs causes you NOT to win as it is to think signing FAs will really help you win. Four of Chicago's five starting OL were FAs--even though they were a team that drafted near the top 10 for the better part of the last 7 years. I'm not saying go hog mild. I'm saying supplement. At this point, most of these guys "are just a guy." More of the guys that have already signed are not. I like Hood, and I like Hamlin. Realistically, what are the chances the Thompson fills 3 of the 5 major holes we have with good FAs at this point. One? Maybe.

Yeah, like when he waited to sign Charles Woodson last year. That was quite a bargin.

[LEWCWA]

I would say Woodson at just over 4 mil. cap # is a great deal...
