Ted will not go out and spend alot on FA. I predict we will look at FA such as:

Barnes (T) - high end
Stinchcomb (T) - high end
A. Smith (DE)
Essex (T)
Crowell (LB)
M. Right (DT)
and possibly a veteran QB Orlovsky or maybe Losman.

We might add 2 FA, but nothing exciting. Guys that can add depth to positions and maybe push a starter.

Just my thoughts.

Yours?

Mine.. for the first week or so, we here in Packerland will hear crickets from the Packers..

There will be plenty of teeth gnashing on the forums though.. especially when Haynesworth goes to Washington, Peppers to Dallas.....

I fully expect to hear that the Packers took this next week off after the combine.

I know that sounds horrible, but it does keep a team from over paying in the feeding frenzy.

I'd like to see Smith or Berry from AZ as a DE. I'd also like to see them consider a blocking TE and an OL

I'd really like us to take a great OT, so we don't have the burden on getting one in the first day of the draft.

This is a placeholder

Ok will we get any free agents this year all depends on TT. Did he leave for his vacation yet lol? I don't see us making a splash i'm thinking more on the lines like a few years ago when we signed that great player in Frank Walker i believe it was. So we can cut him but say we got a free agent.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Lt i hope like hell he decides to make a splash in FA don't get me wrong. But look the past few years he hasn't been that active and the 2 you mentioned weren't really that sought after.

NFL.Com's Adam Schefter.
http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/26/bills-free-up-cap-space-by-releasing-dockery/

Two years after Buffalo made Derrick Dockery the highest-paid guard in the game, the Bills released him Thursday.

In 2007, Buffalo awarded Dockery a seven-year, $49 million contract. Two years later, he is out of work.

The Bills will have to accelerate $5.4 million against their cap, but a big contract is off their books. And Dockery is on the market.

This would be an ok addition to our O-line. He hasn't played up to his contract, but he can sure still play and be a solid contributer.

Oh, and I do think we'll sign a good FA. More along the lines like the guys the Dolphins filled their rosters with last year. Maybe you two should stop your fued btw. 😛

don't look for Thompson to sign a free agent interior lineman. he dmittedly puts low value on interior linemen. that's not being a dick, that's being reasonable in thinking that for certain positions, it's harder to come by a quality starter than at an other position.
