I would have liked the Packers to have landed this guy. ProFootballFocus graded him as the 10th inside/middle linebacker of 2015. I wonder if the money spent on 2nd highest on team Clay Matthews III ($13.75 million) and 4th highest on team Julius Peppers ($10.5 million) played a role in the lack of effort here?

In the weeks leading up to free agency, some around the NFL felt the Green Bay Packers might make a run at Danny Trevathan.

When push came to shove, however, general manager Ted Thompson passed on the 25-year-old inside linebacker, who agreed to a four-year contract with the Chicago Bears on Wednesday. The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs reported that the deal is worth $24.5 million with $12 million guaranteed.

For what Chicago is paying him I think it would have been worthwhile. We might have had to pay more though considering Trevathan's connection with John Fox.

I've been of the thinking that ILB was not a big need and not one we really had to pay big money to fill. I'm thinking that ILB on this team is going to turn into the FB position on the defensive side. I expect more of what Dom did with Micah this last year. DBs covering and Lbers in when to match up when the RB is in.

Trevathan supposedly is one of the better cover ILBs so that's what got me tempted, but I generally agree with this theory. We run a ton of nickel/dime packages so the ILB position is not a major priority in this defense, and in the league as a whole its importance has been diminished.

That being said we still need an ILB who can cover 😲

ILB is the one spot on the D that a team can afford some weakness.

Treavathen is over rated. Nate Irving looked pretty in that spot as well, but without VonMiller, Wolfe, Williams, Jackson and Ware in front of him, he's JAG. Our $24M and 4th round pick will be much better served elsewhere.

And let's not forget the development of the youngsters: Joe Thomas is a thumper and our best cover ILB, he is gong to get attention in camp this year; Ryan will be better and Barrington will be better if he overcomes the psych effect of injury. I've given up on Palmer and Bradford; but sometimes it takes 3-4 for the light to come on.

Someone tweeted out that the Packers had something like 54 plays that netted 20+ yards and only two were being covered by a linebacker.

Chicago gets Trevathan for 6.2 million/year for four years. GB signs Nick Perry for one year at $5 million?

Who overpaid?

Ever wonder why Packer 1st & 2nd round picks like BJ Raji, Mike Neal, Casey Hayward, and Nick Perry are not in much demand by the rest of the NFL?

Perhaps, just perhaps, they really are not as good as so many who follow and write about the Packers make them out to be?
