Packers intend to keep Lee

[RashanGary]

Some of these guys (e.g. Dallas Clark) may never hit the FA market.

Plays with Manning.
Plays with Harrison and Wayne
Plays with a good running game

He's in a pretty optimum situation. He's probably a little overrated.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Actually, I think he's underrated--until this year. He's a supreme talent (a faster Chris Cooley) who has had to play 3rd fiddle (at best) to Harrison and Wayne.

Keep Lee, he knows the offense and Brett has finally gotten comfortable with him. No need to rebuild the TE position at this point by bringing in someone else.

Wow. How times change.

Next we'll be standing pat at RB after back-to-back 100 yard games by Grant.

Keeping Lee is probably a good idea, he's solid if unspectacular. That doesn't mean we couldn't use a superstar tight end though.

Lee is one of six starting tight ends headed for the unrestricted market. Indianapolis' Dallas Clark is No. 1, followed by Philadelphia's L.J. Smith, Tennessee's Bo Scaife, New Orleans' Eric Johnson and Seattle's Marcus Pollard.

I would overpay for Dallas Clark or make a strong push for LJ

Dallas Clark is the real deal; he's be a find. I'm not sure how interested I'd be in LJ Smith. Seems to be injured too often. I'm find with Lee going forward and maybe drafting another guy at this point.

L.J. Smith has caught about 5 passes this year, due mainly to injuries I believe. I think it would make more sense to try to get Bubba to renegotiate his contract. It's not likely he could go somewhere else and get 4.5 million.
