Greg needs to get paid. Now-ish

He seems to want the market to set his price as he nears free agency. Takes two to tango.

GB certainly is sitting in excellent shape considering that football is heading for a couple of uncapped seasons.

My guess is they'll sign Greg Jennings and Nick Collins to extensions and they'll wait and see with Aaron Kampman.

They are saying that FA is starting tomorrow at 11 pm....wouldn't it make more since for it to start in the AM?

It starts at 12 am est time thats why. I saw an interesting thing about possible FA's next year and the uncapped season. Something about if the player don't have 6 years of service he can't become a free agent thats why Al Davis is spending so much this year.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Rick Stroud, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are approximately $50 million under the salary cap after their recent player releases Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

thats a ridiculous amount of cap space... it could possibly be due to the poor economy and they just dont wanna spend. i doubt they are gonna go wild with FA, but i could see the bucs bringing in haynesworth.

that's still too low, even for a dumpy economy. the salary floor will be about $106M in 2009, and if tampa is $50M beneath the cap that puts them at around $73M

After watching who Tampa dumped today, they are in full-on rebuilding mode with their new regime. I'm not to worried about extending someone like Kampman yet because we'll need to see how he does holding down the OLB in the new scheme. We can always slap the franchise tag on him if he does play well and can't get a new deal worked out.

Jennings and Collins I wouldn't mind seeing get extended this off-season either.

dfosterf (16h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (16h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (16h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (16h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (17h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (17h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (17h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (17h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (18h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (18h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (20h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (20h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (21h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
