Also it might be nice to sign a NT (or two)... just saying.

McClain is very talented on the field (at least this last year) but has a lot of off the field questions... and how those off the field things will effect him on the field.

Spikes is a great run defender, but it's a passing league. Of course maybe it's possible to change up the defensive scheme some to take coverage roles away from him and more run defensive skills, like playing more nickel or something. Of course it's too bad he's not a better blitzer for that (at least his sacks numbers don't suggest he is.

Foster, like Spikes, has limitations in pass-coverage which Lovie Smith Tampa 2 defense showed even more than the old scheme but he's still might be better than Spikes in coverage, but worse than him in run support. Rumors have suggested the Bears were trying to sign him for their new 3-4 defense, but they were far apart on price.

He is correctly waiting for the price to bottem out to make a move,I believe.

He'll get no proven players of quality by waiting until the barrel is almost empty. It is one thing to be fiscally responsible , yet another to be scared to pull the trigger.

I don't know.

Barrington is going to get his shot at replacing Hawk and showed he was up to the challenge the last half of the year.

Don't forget CM3 played inside very well.

None of these guys we're released.
Ted doesn't like giving up comp picks.

There is plenty of ILB talent in this years draft.

I don't think Ted is afraid to pull the trigger.

Betting he is telling Dom, that Clay and Sam will be the guys early, while they develope the other guys currently on the roster and anyone who is drafted.

The Packers used their base D very little last year.
Again I expect Barrington to be in almost every play (ala Hawk)
Clay's roll may change some early, but will go back to him moving around as players developed.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

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
