do we have to have these types of threads 3 months before free agency starts?

Why not?
We are planning a much in depth look at the current roster, what is in the draft and what is in free agency to be rolled out soon..
We (Packers) are in the offseason already.. as much as that sucks.

I am the "self-elected" Ted Thompson guy (Almost as thankless a task as his job lol) along with his staff, in the (currently) "volunteers needed" thread which Pack93z is referencing. My intention is to provide an in-depth biographical sketch of Ted Thompson and his staff, including scouts and the trainers. For example, some might not know that quite a bit of his staff do not reside in Wisconsin at all, but are spread out all over the country based on their area of responsibility...e.g. Our "West" scout lives in San Diego, Ca.
As to Ted Thompson himself, here is a small factoid:
"I think free agency is a very interesting tool to use to help you patch some holes and do some things," said Thompson, who signed five unrestricted free agents in 2006, the Packers' most since 1998. "There's no reluctance on our part. We do try to make certain that what we do is not just fantasy football. We're investing in a player that's got to come in and play a particular role. If we don't think that player can perform to that contract, then it doesn't make sense for us to do it just to say, 'Look what we've spent.' "
Like the thread being referenced, Volunteers are needed, contrasted with "airing of the Grievances". Festivus is over, I believe. :thumbright:
My intention is to "kick off" the new "project" on Friday. There will be a new thread started, and I will start it, at least this is the plan.
Please Volunteer, your contribution is what you can do, not what anyone says you must do. We can use anyone, with any perspective. You can make up your own category if you want.
