in recent years we have avoided targeting anyone in the first week of FA, look for lesser names to start popping up as targets next week, don't expect any of those "targets" to actually sign tho.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I've been scouring the blog sites all weekend, and the only news I've seen Packer related is the Clifton signing, Montgomery and Giordano getting cut, and Kampman signing with the Jaguars.

Hopefully once the ball gets rolling this upcoming week with the second tier of free agency, we'll hear a few peeps out of 1265.

So what are our main needs? ...
OL, safety, CB, LOLB ... which order thou ...

we have no idea if al harris will be able to start, our left outside backer was a liability - not necessarily a need but ya wed like some improvement there. OL - ya enough said there 50+ sacks ... I like bigby but can see us getting a solid 3rd guy since we saw what happens when one of our safetys goes down.

I would expect the next signing to be a long-term contract for Ryan Pickett.

It seems we have some interest in William Gay.

http://packerupdate.net/?p=2754 

Nothing is imminent, but the Packers are at least exploring the possibility of signing restricted free agent William Gay to an offer sheet. The ex-Louisville star, who started 14 games at cornerback for the Steelers last season, was tendered at the original-round level last week. So any team that wants to acquire the 25-year-old would have to give up a fifth-round pick in next months draft. Gay is neither big (5-10, 190) nor fast (4.6), but hes tough, instinctive and familiar with Dom Capers style of defense. Hes also a good special teams player.

Young corner with experience in the system for a 5th? Sounds OK to me, if only for depth.

We don't really need anyone ... if we can get one of those impact drafts like last year grab an impact rookie like Matthews and hoping the emerge of the Jones ... this team is off the chart.

We do in fact need a punter.

Al Harris will be back so I'm not to worried, Tramon handled pretty well last year and the year previous.

Who is this Al Harris guy? I do NOT want him on our team.

=) I think its a bit unfair to judge the guy by one youtube video, especially considering AP has done the same to many people in the league, all-pro players at that. No CB is really a match for peterson. Now i dont really know much about this guy, so i'm not here to defend him or anything, but saying you dont want him based on one youtube video seems a little silly.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (10h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (10h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (11h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (11h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (12h) : Who? What?
beast (20h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : 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
