If I'm not mistaken, isn't Mark Tauscher NOT a Packer anymore? We didn't resign him or anything did we?

Well there's a pretty good OT from the Eagles that's a FA and his name is John Runyon. Dude's a monster (physically-wise). He is 6-7, 330lbs. (I just saw his name on a FA list, don't know if he was signed.)

Or we could just re-sign Tauscher.

I was wondering the health of Runyon, or whether his agent has a list of certain teams that he'll entertain offers from as I agree when I saw he was available I was pretty excited about the Packers making a bid for his services. With more time and better blocking this team could be deadly on offence. It is already well above average.

Our own Aaron Wilson, who when he isnt cranking out blurbs right here covers the Ravens for the Carroll County Times, recently reported that free-agent linebacker Ray Lewis made exorbitant financial demands of the Jets.

It meshes with information weve previously obtained suggesting that the Jets initially came calling for Lewis, but that the proposals extended by his camp caused the Jets to pull the plug, and then to put the full-court press on former Ravens teammate Bart Scott.



Sounds like a perfect situation dhazer. Let's bring him in. Screw the future of the franchise. I want an aging prima donna murderer NOW!

Since we don't have enough pages in this thread, and I possess an evil streak, I would just like to point to a small tidbit that has been missed by most.

SI. Com Peter KING MMQ 

It's on page 4 of the article, published (imagine that) Monday:

"j. Weirdest thing I heard over the weekend: Pack gave their coaches the weekend off. They'll be in today, and this week, to work on the free agents. I'm told that has meaning -- that the Packers want to send the message that free agency spending these days is profligate, and they'll get in when the Dan Snyders get out."

No driveways for our guys.

(little bit of free agency humor)

Don't get me wrong I want us to draft and OT as well, I am just tired of our QBs and RBs having lousy coverage and holes to run through. As we saw last year, we have nobody backing up Rodgers who can get the job done should he get injured. If Runyon plays only a few years we can let our rookies develop and learn without rushing them.

So when does the future become the present Mass? We have been building for the future for 4 years now. As far as your comment about the stabbing he did his time and has done nothing since. How long ago was it? He would be a player i would take on my team any day. But heck Mass if you were the gm we would never win because you want to keep planning for the future. You do realize that most decent rookies sign a 4-5 year deal so what happens when they are up do you release them and go for younger again?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

No...we have been rebuilding the carnage left by MS. It is fiscally unsound to go out and blow our wad on over-priced FAs who, as the record shows, typically never live up to their contracts, and cause the loss of several young players who will earn an upgrade in the next few years.

Which young players are you wishing to scuttle for some big name who will not live up to the hype, or contract.

Jennings, Collins, Williams, Spitz, Bishop (who I think will be a star in this new defense)...who are you willing to lose for an overpaid FA?

Absolute classic post... dead on money for the most part.

The only area we really need a direct influx of talent that might be inflated in price would be dline.. and not at 17.25 guaranteed for a guy that is solid in the run game but very average in pass rush. But I give him versatile in alignment.

We are short on bodies along the Dline and even a bias draft might not give us enough to work with and maintain value in the picks.
