Not overly shocked, but frankly, he isn't worth more than the 3 years/7 million we offered him late last year. He's much better suited for a 4:3 DT in a Johnson/Bates system than the 3:4 the Packers will be converting to this upcoming season.

The money and cap space we'll save from not re-signing him or Montgomery can better go towards extensions for guys like Collins and Jennings.

I agree with you on that he wasn't worth the offer he turned down IMO, but the Packers need DL players. I meant right now the Packers have Pickett, Jenkins (coming off IR), Jolly (legal troubles), Harrell (injury prone) and a couple of PS guys.... to put in for 3 starting positions.

I'm not sure Cole wouldn't be a decent fit in the 3-4 as long as they played him one gap. He's not good as a two gap player even though most think that because of his size.....

I'm just saying the Packers need better DL depth and maybe starters. But if healthy I think we're fine with starters but more that could start couldn't hurt.

Depth will be the problem I think. Not a lot of talent out there for 3-4 D L to be had. We may want to try and hold on to him for that reason alone.

Hopefully that stops their efforts of signing Canty, this may end up being good news for the Packers.

Cole would have gave us comfort in depth and knowing what we had in a player.. but just in terms of output upon the field, this isn't a large loss beyond the depth issue.

We will find some depth along the line yet in FA and in the draft.. but if we haven't ink a few more DL by the draft, you can almost book the pick for the Packers in the first.. DL.. either at 9 or a few slots lower.. unless one of the premier OT are staring the Packers in the face at 9.
