Typically this time of the year I'm glued to my computer/laptop searching for rumors on what the Packers will do. This is the first season, err off season that I have absolutely no interest in continuing that.

There aren't any real gems out there and with that said, Ted won't be active at all.

So, bleh.

Yes, it does seem this offseason is a little blase. I'm more interested in who we're getting rid of more than who we're picking up at the moment.

IMO Free agency is never boring. While the Packers may not be making the signings, I like to see what other teams are doing and paying. So also when somebody says we should have gotten player X, I know what they ended up getting, and if it would have been a good move for the Pack.

Also seeing what the competition will look like.

Well we made the nfl network as one of the most disappointing teams so far this offseason lol. Don't they know Ted Thompson don't like free agency it's his vacation time. He heads to the beaches of Hawaii to catch some sun and work on his ummmm tan 😛
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Ted never vacations.


The Packers interest indicates they think highly of Canty as a possible piece in their new 3-4 defense, and they have more than enough salary-cap room (about $34 million) to sign him, though that also would mean eventually losing one or more of their own players who will be free agents a year from now.



This. Always a double edged sword.

No need for a signing now to mean losing anyone in the future. At least not for money reason. Thompson and the purse string holders have good management, and will make sure that money is available when needed.

This time of a year is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, part of me really wishes that Green Bay was in the mix for some of these players, wheeling and dealing and making waves.

On the other hand, I appreciate the organization's commitment to fiscal responsibility and focusing on signing the young guns of the team to long term deals.

I like that I'll be able to watch players like Jennings and Collins in the Green and Gold for a long time, but damn if I don't wish Green Bay would some sort of a splash in free agency.

If the Redskins can somehow sign Haynesworth, Hall, and Dockerty with the huge contracts they were given with the limited cap space the team had, I think the Packers will be able to sign their own free agents next year... Besides, after next year the Packers may cut Clifton or someone to free up more cash.

How are we one of the most disappointing teams this offseason? They completely redid the entire defensive coaching staff and scheme.

    Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (3h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (3h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (3h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

    dfosterf (3h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (3h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (3h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
