WTG Teddy, way to keep that checkbook closed. Hey i heard the Pats waterboy is a FA maybe Ted Thompson will sign him to make us happy so we can say we actually signed a FA lol. But honestly did anyone think Ted Thompson would sign any free agents this year?

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

Sounds like this defense will be hurting AGAIN! We need some 3-4 studs to keep this team to where it should be, CONTENDERS!!!

17.25 million guaranteed is a lot and a little overpriced for a guy based on potential, but as some point you've got to be bold and this was Thompson's chance to make a bold move. So what if it doesn't workout. As teams like Washington and New England have shown you don't' need 35 million in cap to make something happen. This was clearly a miss.

Bleh. I have alot of faith in TT, but this does get quite annoying. I know we shouldn't build a team through FA, but you also can't expect a team to just be build entirely through the draft.

I think we have a play-off ready team if we fill some holes, but we really do not sign anyone at all, it seems.

That said, maybe this wasn't all on Ted. I mean, maybe the player just wanted to go to Giants, who have a great team in place (aswell).

We'll see what he does further on, FA isn't finished just yet. Olshansky is still out there. He might not be great, but I do think he's someone we need along the defensive line for our 3-4.

While I'm not surprised, I don't see how this qualifies as "TT is a cheap bastard" scenario. Without knowing any more or any less about this situation than any of you, it seems to me that Canty just wanted to play in NY. We heard that at one point Ted Thompson had made an offer that was more than the Giants offer. Apparently the Giants matched or exceeded that. TT, quite reasonably, requested to meet with Canty and perform a physical before making a final offer. Canty and his agent did not want to do that. How can you blame Ted Thompson for not going over a $42 million contract for a player he has never evaluated in person.

It seems to me that Ted Thompson did all he could. That's just the way it plays out sometimes.

Canty is from NYC. I would imagine that might have something to do with it. I dunno.

In other words Matt Ted Thompson was sitting on his hands again and hoping a player will come play for him. He's been in the league for how long and he don't know what kind of player he is gimmie a break. Lets sign the waterboy already lol. I thought this year was going to be different but once again we are the laughing stock of the league when it comes to free agency. I plain give up on free agency until Tightwad Ted is out of green bay which hopefully is soon.

Canty wasn't going to play here in GB. We asked him to come meet with us, he didn't come. He's from NY and it was the first team they met with. I'm sure they were using the Packers figures to drive up a price that they would accept.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (13h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
