I can't remember, but didn't we have a brief debate about Packers keeping their draft picks over undrafted free agents?

About the time The Kentucky Derby is over, we should be getting reports of UDFA signings.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Finding a couple of guys undrafted is of tremendous value. If they can play, then they have as good a chance to make the team as anyone pretty much.

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

While I remember the Seahawks came out with a brochure and sent them to NFL agents about how often they play UDFAs etc.

Zero2Cool (28m) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (29m) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (29m) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (30m) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (30m) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (36m) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (1h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (1h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (2h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (2h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (2h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (2h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (2h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (9h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (11h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (12h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (14h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (14h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (18h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (18h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (19h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
