nice bait

I think Donnie Edwards would be a good signing if they could get him. He's experienced and a great player and could help out in the LB department. He said on First Take he wants to go somewhere that's ready to win and not rebuild. It wouldn't hurt signing someone like him.

This is definitely the year to sit on your ass for about 10 days before paying a fortune to a marginal talent. I would like to see Tauscher resigned, but if Mark gets a great contract from another team, I will be happy for him as I was Marco Rivera and Ahman Green.

I think Green Bay can stand pat at linebacker with what we have, but I hold out more hope than some of you with guys like Hunter and Jeremy Thompson. I'd like to see Ohlshansky or Canty, but if it means paying them more than Cullen or Pickett, forget about it.

I suspect our o-line next year is:
Clifton - cleaned out knees
Colledge -
Spitz -
Sitton -
Tausch - Bleeds Green and Gold and gives a hometown discount. (1st third round pick is a project tackle to groom)

One topic that never seems to get brought up in free agency talk is the team morale consequences of giving huge money to someone that has never taken a snap for the team.

So my prediction for the first week free agency is a lot of fuel for the Tater Group (Ted haters), because we won't do jack, again.

Thank you, Dakota!! One of the most overlooked, andmost necessary aspect to a winning team is good chemistry and morale. To brng someone in and pay the crazy money can not be good for the locker room.

DHazer.....who caresd whether or not Pickett and Woodson were "sought after", the fact is that Ted Thompson identified and signed two huge contributors to the roster. And for that he should be lambasted??

The only near top-tier FA that interests me is Canty. Olshansky is a headcase and, apparently, a guy who puts the minimum in. Not what any locker room needs.

As far as LT....why pay the top dollars he is going to want when he is like Ahman Green a year or two befor being let go....breaking down from the hits he has taken as he was run into the ground.

---

+1 for Canty, if I get to "choose" my favorite. Obviously, I'd like Haynesworth, but i'm being realistic.

edit: and if he wants out of Dallas, that makes him just that much more attractive as a FA prospect.

Buccaneers | Cole likely a target
Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:53:11 -0800

Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers likely will target Green Bay Packers impending free-agent DT Colin Cole in free agency.

he'll be happier there.

---

plus he'll probably rake in a boat-load of money from Tampa. dare i say, much more than his skills would warrant.

Guys the year the we got Woodson and Pickett, we got lucky. This team was in the prime of rebuilding and everyone knew that. Pickett was underrated and people thought he was done. Woodson was injury prone, no one was sold on him 100% and the only other team that was after him wanted him to play safety which he didn't want.

Now Woodson has agreed also that he didn't want to come Green Bay but now loves it.

Now the year's after that no one was sold on the Packers until the year we went 13-3... Management knew the team's core was there so they thought they could just plug in the depth area with drafts. Now Packers know they've got a QB and a core... They know with some FA's they can go all the way SB so don't be suprised if Ted Thompson is active.
