Can someone explain what T.T. is doing...

[packers11]

I've been a T.T. supporter but come on, what the hell is he waiting for... Im starting to get really worried... Grant and Griffith both signed, along with most veteran rb's...

If I was favre I would not be happy right now...

why isn't there any outrage at the fan fest or at lambeau itself...?

[digitaldean]

Though TT did make some decent FA moves last year, he is sitting on the sidelines this year.

I don't expect a drunken sailor type of spending spree, but I do expect to see a little more in the results department this year. Considering what we've lost in FA and what we needed before that, he needs to build through FA AND the draft.

He will have to draft a top flight RB in the first 2 rounds (Lynch, Bush). Same goes for TE (Miller in rd. 2, because Olson won't be available).

So he signed his own in Kampman= great signing
Woodsen signing was made after TT sat on his hands much of FA and frontloaded to use up cap space as opposed to signing a couple players and giving him a normal structured deal, but it was surely a success

The other signings didn't have much of an impact either way

[RashanGary]

Hey, just think B, if TT would have signed Bently and Witherspoon along with Woodson last year we would have two guys who dont' make a difference, one guy who does *woodson* and we would be against the cap like the idiot before him.

Then we'd have no money now to talk about redoing Barnett. Jenkins would probably get the one year tender instead of his reasonable deal.

But hey, we could get alot better now. Fact is we probably won't and when it comes to keeping Barnett next season it will be very tough.

Honestly, I'm not a huge Barnett fan but looking at this list of FA's makes me realize someithing. He's better than all of them excetp Clements and he'll come alot cheaper if we lock him up early.

I'd take Barnett on a long term deal over any FA out there right now. Taht is acctually what I"m hoping for.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Point A was the dates of the signings.

Point B was that free agency helped but few free agents really mattered to the core of the team.

gotta throw this out there

free agency began on march 11th last year. and you left off pickett who was brought in on the 11th or 12th and signed on like the 14th or 17th

so we were doing something a little early last season

success rate? tayler was only a special teamer for us, and couldn't even beat out the shitty poppinga for the SAM. aleen only played in like 3 games then was out the rest of the season.

i usually would use injuries, but if others are going to bring up bentley in other threads ("see you wanted to sign him and he would have been hurt all year"), then i'll use it here

i like both taylor and allen, but their contribution to this team was very small last year. so don't try and use those as great signings

woodson and pickett were our only good signings last year IMO. not counting our own resignings

and as we all saw, we went into this last season with plenty of holes still, tt could have and should have done more then he did

I think B has blatently ripped off Tank's polar bear theme - right down to the avatar. All he needs now is:

Ted is Trapped In His Tortoise Shell - Chapter 13.

Where's Ryan Pickett? I thought that was their best signing.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Sorry, Pickett was signed on St. Patricks Day last year.

Today is only March 10th.

Why be impatient in free agency??

Few free agents even made the team.

You cant compare most of those signings because the depth of this FA is very weak. Show me A Charles Woodson still out there and i'll quite down about TT
