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?"

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"

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 (1h) : Who? What?

beast (9h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (14h) : meh

Zero2Cool (18h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (18h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
