LT the NFL is a now league, the players want the money now, Ted Thompson doesn't do the now thing and you know that , I mean c'mon we are still building for the future. But as far as the Canty thing it's done and over with and Ted Thompson dropped the ball once again. OH Well i'm curious to see how the draft goes.

"You play with fire sometimes,'' Blank said Sunday night, "and sometimes you get burned. I needed the Redskins. They pay people, and they pay people quick. It didn't work out with them, and I know I'll be second-guessed, but I did what I thought I had to do to get the biggest contract I could. You can't ignore the team you think is going to pay you the most money. But isn't it amazing? The last team on my list the other night is the team he ends up with. That's what happens in this business.''
BTW they were talking about the Redskins not the Packers.

If Ted Thompson would have just offered $7 million a year he would be in green and gold. You said he knew the starting price, also knew other teams were in so why try and go with the low amount you go a little higher just to try and knock out the feelers (tt). Just like playing poker you have a marginal hand so you don't just call you make a bet to keep the free loaders from staying in.

So yes Ted Thompson dropped the ball.

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

Let's play a game....

"I don't know squat about Agents or Players or General Managers and I have a misguided hatred for our GM so I will say he dropped the ball on a player that chose to play for a different team."

Who am I?

All Ted Thompson had to do is offer $7 mill a year and it would have been a done deal, did you not see where it said they signed with the last team on the list? Or maybe we weren't even on the list then.

I don't think we were on the list because he never made arrangements to come visit Green Bay.

And that is ALL TED had to do? Really? You should be a GM, you seem to know it ALL. I mean, because players never EVER decide to sign a contract, it is only the GM who makes that decision for them.

VOTE FOR DHAZER AS GM!! w00t w00t!

Oh C'mon Zero there were tons of reports that people posted saying Canty was considering GB lol. But like i said i don't expect any free agents to come to GB (this is another example of that), But if i was GM things would be different 🙂 as you know by now i don't wear the blinders as alot of you do. Bigby would be gone and Al Harris would be traded. To be honest i would even be shopping Hawk around.

edit: Opps forgot the big one Bustin would be gone for sure.

lol his AGENT said with GB being a 3 - 4 it would be the perfect match or something to that effect. I believe Canty grew up or lives in the NY area and that played a big role. Plus they just won a SB a year or two ago.

I HOPED he would land here, but yeah I can't really say I expected him to. I don't foresee us signing anyone of note until after the first month of FA has expired.

If you were GM, that is what I would fear, things would be different. You'd sign someone just for the sake of coming back here to say "HA see I signed someone, Ted didn't!"

You make decisions based on emotion, Ted and Co. are making them in the best interest of the team, you know, the Packers.

I do hope we sign someone though. I need to trade for someone on Madden! 🙂

Well me shipping Bigby is because i see alot of mistakes and he just seems to lose focus at times, as far as trading Al is because he is getting up there in age and now we could get a decent trade value for him (also we have Tramon in the waiting). Trading Hawk would be because i don't see the great player he was made out to be and hopefully could get a good draft pick back or decent player that would fit in the 3-4. Canning Bustin is easy to figure out he has gotten enough free chicken and ribs from us.

I happen to like Bigby and I can't say for sure how many years Al has left in him. I'm enjoying Tramon as an up and coming prospect, but methinks Al still has Tramon beat in '09.

As for Hawk, I'd take a wait and see approach and see how he does in this 3-4.

But your very last sentence was hilarious.

beast (8h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (9h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (10h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
