http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=40&post_id=35611 Earlier this month, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Packers intend to remake the position in defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ image with lighter, more athletic players with four defensive linemen (B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett, C.J. Wilson and Johnny Jolly) headed for unrestricted free agency. That Sutton measured at just 6 feet tall and is 300 pounds makes him similar to current lineman Mike Daniels (6-feet, 300).
Packers coach Mike McCarthy, speaking at the podium to reporters inside the Lucas Oil Stadium club area Friday, disputed Rapoport’s report, calling it “not accurate.”
“I’ve never been part of a conversation that you want your D-linemen to be smaller,” McCarthy said.
:-k 🤔 🤔
Ted has the history of letting Packers UFA's to test the waters and see how much interest they get, then he seems to offer contracts to the guys he wants to keep.
I still believe with the Jolly injury situation still an uknown, that Ted will make Ryan Pickett a fair offer to come back one more year.
As poor as Raji played for The Packers in 2013, there will probably be at least one team who will offer him more money than Ted is willing to pay.
I f you can believe at least half of what you read, Pickett would just be part of a nice rotation as The Packers transition to younger guys.
As always, a team needs a few of those grisled old veterans to show the young guys how to play the game.
Again, Jolly is the ?. Is he healthy? Will he receive an offer too much for Ted to match?
I woould prefer Jolly and Pickett both back for one more year, if only one comes back, I guess I would have to lean toward Jolly.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
