I wouldn't have made it public I'm matching that offer so quick. If you let it stew for five days, more CB's get taken off the market and Packers wouldn't be able to make a play for them as quick. Now the Packers know Fuller is off the market so they can get involved in other CB talks sooner. Probably not that big of a deal, but I think the Bears did Packers a favor by matching so fast.

Well to play devil's advocate by matching immediately it does send two other messages they may feel are more important. It tells the other teams around the NFL to back off when they say they'll match their Free Agents. Was widely known the Bears were not going to let Fuller get away and would match any offer, some teams say this as a bluff so they can maintain control in contract negotiations. The Bears made it known they're not bluffing.

Second message was to Fuller. By letting a player stew for 5 days the player can start mentally packing their bags so to speak, so by the time the team does match the player may feel slighted. Why'd they take 5 days to decide? I was starting to look forward to playing for this new coach etc.

Fuller knows pretty clearly now where he stands with the Bears and how they feel about keeping him around.

The cb market is getting pretty bare, as much as everyone is trying to label this a win....we still no corners....im sure gutes motivation was not to get the bears to spend more, he wanted fuller.

With that it may just be that GB's new highest priority is to retain new CB and WR players. The FA market is growing thin, but the upcoming NFL Draft is ready to supply players for both positions. So far BG has done well, lets continue to trust him.

This draft has a handful of very intriguing CB options. I say we let this play out. ... We've got no choice anyway hehe

Totally agree. Looking at the available CBs in FA is rather depressing. I wonder if we look at a couple of guys who will sign 1 year prove it deals and then draft a couple of CBs to slowly develop.

Looking to be more and more like it will be similar to 3 years ago when they drafted CB with the first two picks. Maybe its 1st + 3rd this year or 2nd + 3rd + 4th but I feel a real secondary rush coming. Good thing its supposedly a deep draft for the position.

Josh Jackson, Denzel Ward, Derwin James I think they all have to start considering buying a winter jacket.

Getting really tired of drafting corners high only to go into the offseason year after year feeling like we have no corners.

Agreed, but I am at that point where I would be surprised if we draft anything other than CB at this point with our first pick. Yes we need help on the pass rush, but Mo may help that from the line to allow us to consider a later OLB pick.

Trust me this new(ish) staff won't be drafting guys like Randall and Rollins and telling them to be corners. They're going to draft freaking corners.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
