GREEN BAY, Wis. — After making subtractions to their linebacker group last month, the Green Bay Packers have made an addition.

They signed street free-agent Josh Francis on Thursday.

It's his first time with an NFL team.

Francis (6-foot, 238 pounds) played two seasons at West Virginia (2011-2012), where he started 13 of 21 games. In 2012, he led the Mountaineers with 15 tackles for loss.

After failing to land with an NFL team out of college, Francis played in the Canadian Football League in 2014 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and in the Indoor Football League in 2015 with Wichita Falls Nighthawks.

It's a body. You never know until you look.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I would take him over AJ Hawk and I know nothing about him other than what I've read.

He's short...light.

It's about time we hit on an inside LB UDFA. I liked that Joe Thomas kid in the preseason... he got hurt but he's back, I believe.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Is he just a cheap body being used as a smoke screen to try to fool other teams as to the picks the Packers will make in the 2015 Draft ?
Why is Ted signing these nobody players ? He is not fooling anyone with these no value players .

:clown: Bozo strikes again ! :joker:

jdlax (29-Aug) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (29-Aug) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
