I didn't really see anything like this so we might as well start one since it's the start of FA.

Looks like they locked up Lane Taylor. It's not much of an impact signing but he's a guy capable of filling in adequately as depth as long as they leave him at G.

Thanks for starting this thread, steve.

On the scale from "Reggie White exciting" to "Meh", this is definitely a "Meh," though.

Twenty of these won't stop many complaints about Thompson's approach.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Absolutely agree. Although I'd rather a free agent TE or ILB.

I'm naively heding my bets on Sam Barrington filling Clay Matthews III ILB spot and Jake Ryan being the other starter. Need depth though.

Just because a player could help the Packers doesn't mean he is worth signing, unless it's at the right price. I also don't want the Packers to lose any compensatory selections, unless it's for a truly proven and younger player like Trevathan. That would be worth it imo, unless the Packers really think they can get another very good ILB in the draft. I'm skeptical.

I think CM3 should stay in his hybrid role, especially if the Packers don't improve on Barrington/Ryan.

However, the Ryan-Barrington pairing does remind me of the A.J. Hawk/Brad Jones ILBer duo in 2014 and we all know how that turned out.

Can not go into 2016 with a 7th rounder who lacks speed/coverage and is coming off a season ending injury and a recently converted defensive lineman who was absolutely exposed in coverage last season. I'd like to see both Barrington & Ryan replaced. Neither are very good.

I won't be surprised if it's a lower hit next year and a higher one in the 2nd year in case he improves and has a shot at a starting spot if one of lang/sitton walks in 2017. The RFA tender was like 1.6m so that's what I'm thinking the 1st year pay might be.

One player I'm interested in who may not be that expensive is Rishard Matthews the WR from Miami. I think he could be a good complimentary WR here and have an impact without having to be one of those 10m/y signings.

Looks like he mostly makes back up money this year and has a chance to make most of it if he improves and they keep him around to play in 2017.

Bringing back Chris Banjo is a good move. Malik Jackson getting 15/y makes Daniels deal look freaking glorious.
