Packers lose bid for free agent

Defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson opted to remain with his current team, Kansas City, his agent disclosed on Saturday.

The Green Bay Packers were negotiating Friday with Wilkerson's agent, Joby Branion, but ultimately Wilkerson wanted to remain with the Chiefs and agreed to a one year deal.

"I think there was just a comfort level with the team that he was with," Branion said. "He's good with everybody there. There's nothing he doesn't like about Kansas City."

Wilkerson, 6 foot 3 and 292 pounds, has been a versatile reserve for the Chiefs for four years, playing both end and tackle. Wilkerson started just three of 56 games. He has 86 tackles, one-half sack and 34 quarterback pressures, including 25 in 2005. The Chiefs have also recently signed free agent tackle Alfonso Boone, who had spent six years with Chicago, and re-signed Ron Edwards.

The Packers have acquired one player in the free agency period, cornerback Frank Walker.

Some of you remind me of my wife. She has 37 pairs of shoes, but buys another why? Cause she has money in her pocket! Who on god's green earth needs 38 pairs of shoes?

At RB and WR and S and TE your wife has inadequate shoes. Do you look to upgrade or make her work with the worn out stuff

There's no such thing as too many shoes. You can't wear clunky boots with a strappy dress unless you're 15 and it's in fashion. The shoes have to fit the system. (besides, crazy man, she's buying them to try and look good for YOU.)

She doesn't need the RB, WR, S and TE shoes until September. New styles will be available from now until then, with a big release of new styles in late April and possible releases of one or two other new styles in early summer. Should she buy all her shoes now, or wait for the new styles to come out and/or sales on the currently available styles for some of the shoes she needs?

I tried installing an NFL style "salary cap" at my house. It didn't go over too well and I was fined for "tampering". I had to sit out a few games, but I learned my lesson.

38 pairs of shoes really isn't that much. That is something that men cannot understand, so don't even try

How in the hell did we end up talking about shoes? LOL!!!

[Spaulding]

If the shoe fits ...

But SOME new shoes now so she doesn't have to buy too many pairs later.
Or better yet, buy some shoes before April and then when April comes you only have to replace that style pair if something comes up that is too good to be true.

Sales will come; they'll be held on inventory hardly anybody else wants.
