I thought I'd write a little update for people who haven't been following this thing closely.

Vikings

- Interested in RFA Marlin Jackson. Didn't get tendered, so they could sign him, even with the final 8 rule prohibiting them from signing an UFA.
- Lost Chester Taylor to FA. He later signed with the Bears.
- Due to Taylor signing somewhere else, the Vikings can now sign one UFA.
- Lost Artis Hicks to FA. He signed with the Redskins.
- Signed K Rhys Lloyd. Potential kick-off specialist.
- Resigned Benny Sapp
- LDT decided to join the Jets, after the Vikings tried to get him.
- Lost Paymah. Jennings will miss him.
- Signed Kick-off specialist Lloyd.
- Signed Lito Sheppard.

Lions

- Traded a 5th and a 6th to the Browns for Corey Williams.
- Signed Kyle Vanden Bosch. Vanden Bosch played for Schwartz in Tennessee.
- Signed Nate Burleson to a 5 year deal.
- Let starting CB Philip Buchanon go.
- Released Grady Jackson. Started 13 games in 2009.
- Traded a 5th and a 6th for Atlanta's 5th and CB Chris Houston.
- Signed FA CB Jonathan Wade.
- Traded a 7th for QB Shaun Hill.
- Lost LB Foote to FA. He signed with the Steelers.
- Traded a 5th and DE Henderson to the Seahawks for OG Sims and a 7th.
- Traded Ernie Sims to the Eagles and receiver a 7th round pick and Tony Scheffler from the Broncos in a 3-way trade.

Bears

- Signed Julius Peppers.
- Signed Brandon Manumaleuna.
- Signed Chester Taylor.
- Expected to trade Greg Olsen, who "doesn't fit Martz's offensive scheme".

Packers

- Re-signed FA Clifton. Got heavy interest from Redskins.
- Lost Aaron Kampman to the Jaguars.
- Signed Ryan Pickett to 4 year deal.
- Signed Nick Collins to 3 year deal.
- Signed FA RT Tauscher to 2 year deal.
- Signed a punter from the Australia to a 3 year deal.

Packers

- Most likely, the Redskins will sign Clifton. Packers couldn't get a deal done. (Causing mass panic in cheesehead nation... reports of mob forming at 1265 Lombardi.. 😉 )
- Lost Aaron Kampman to FA.

I want to add someone the Packers should be talking to that noone probably will even think of, We should be trying to talk Craig Hentrich about coming back home. Just a thought

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

"That's a fine tail you have there, Ted. So tell me, if you don't come out of this office with my main man Jared, who exactly will be your left tackle?"

"Err, umm, fella by the name of Lang."

Room erupts in hysterical laughter.

Biscotti: "Ozzie, you ever heard of this guy Lang? How'd he look at the combine?"

Ozzie Newsome: "Steve, he wasn't invited to the combine."

Collective shake of the head.

"Ted, Ted ted...you poor, poor man"

More laughter.

Coach John Matso, O-line coach of the Ravens: "Hey, I heard the kid has some potential, he goes about 316 and has the same arm length as Joe Thomas"

[muffled snickers]

Owner Steve Biscotti:

"He weighs 307, John"

More laughter....

Tell Wade I'm goin' back to drinkin'

Now that would be a very nice idea. I don't think that he's coming back, but that'd be a great solution for our punting problem. He still has quite a leg.

NFP- Bucs have huge interest in Kampman

Defensive end is No. 1 target of Tampa Bay Brad Biggs

Reports right now are linking Aaron Kampman to the Seattle Seahawks, suggesting that the high-motor defensive end could be headed west to reunite with new general manager John Schneider, who knows him well from their days in Green Bay.

That very well could happen. With Julius Peppers en route to Chicago and the Bears expected to get his name on a contract by the end of the day, and with Kyle Vanden Bosch apparently landing in Detroit, Kampman is easily the most talented pass rusher on the market.

And there is one team that doesnt have a lot of money committed to players that has a lot of interest in Kampman. A league source with knowledge of the situation said that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have huge interest in Kampman and classified the veteran as the clubs No. 1 target in free agency.

It would make sense. The Bucs have a very real need for a pass rusher and with a young team and young coaching staff, Kampman is the kind of player who could come in and provide a steadying influence.

Whether or not the Bucs will get an opportunity to make a run at Kampman remains to be seen, but rest assured Tampa is in pursuit.

I just filed a quick story to our news side, and want to bring you up to date. Detroit has agreed to terms with veteran defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch on a four-year contract. Vanden Bosch confirmed the agreement during a Friday morning appearance on 104.5 in Nashville, Tenn.

(Full disclosure: My AFC South colleague Paul Kuharsky is one of shows hosts.)

Ill be back shortly with some analysis.

I must say, I do enjoy watching our once pitiful division become a powerhouse, with hopefully the Packers standing atop a pile of blue, purple and orange.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

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) : 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) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

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 (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.
