Should Ted allow Tramon to save face and up the offer to $8.1M /2yrs to bring him back (next week)?

Veteran Tramon Williams remains unsigned after first three days of free agency.

No. I would offer him $6 million for 3 years. Greed should not be rewarded.

I was thinking keep the signing bonus the same but up the imaginary second year ... He can say he tested free agency and decided to come back to win like the others...

Considering the ridiculous deals CBs signed this offseason, I'd take something like 3yrs, $14 m, 5 garantued in a heartbeat. Bring #38 back home, TT!!!

Didn't Al Harris hang with us until he was 34? Al was physical and couldn't run... Tramon runs better but is far less physical. If Tramon was more physical I think there would be more reason to bring him back.

32 doesn't have to be the end but do you want Tramon covering guys like Mike Wallace, Calvin Johnson and Alshon Jeffery? I don't.

Tramon is NOmart spelled backward. I want Ted to shop at Nomart when it comes to Tramon. Move on. Honestly, would we want to sign him if he was a member of someone else's team last season? No way. So, just because he was a Packer last year and many prior doesn't mean we should sign him, again, just because he was.

What's Ahmad Carroll up to these days? I heard after a several year run up high in the mountains wearing boxing gloves under the tutelage of Mr. Miagi has taught him proper technique. It is time to call him in to get something out of another of our failed 1st round defensive picks.

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."

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
