What do you want to see happen with the Packers and Free Agency?

From time to time, a report will emerge that the Packers intend to become more active in free agency. Most recently, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that the Packers will pursue free agents this year. Before you roll your eyes, consider this: Three years ago, the same reporter reported the same report. That year, the Packers...

Burmeister in the video clip is exactly right... We went out and got a decent TE after doing nothing for years and it helped the team immensely. Paul said we should be drafting a really really good TE and see what that does because the decent one worked out pretty well. Not another RR, though.

Florio is a Vikings fan but he's right. I should add there are two things you can set your watch by... Vikings fans shooting off their mouths in July and August and Packers fans shutting theirs in January.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

😂 This topic in the media is a joke right ? Ted Thompson is going to all of a sudden change his MO ? But hey don't listen to me .. Nice quote from Andrew Brandt ‏@AndrewBrand > " Been asked about Packers being 'more active in free agency' for 15 years. Answer always "What part of Ted Thompson do you not understand?" he adds in the following " Packers have/will sign FAs, but they will be without strong markets (Woodson, Peppers included). We never wanted in on 'stupid money' phase. "

Kind of says it all.

Ted will sign free agents all day if they don't effect his complementary draft picks.

Therefore we conclude that the player will either have to be unrestricted or a previous member of our team. AND they will have to agree to Ted's financial terms, which is to say, they will have to fit within our projected cap structure.

jdlax (11h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (15h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (15h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (16h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (21h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (21h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (21h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

buckeyepackfan (23h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (23h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
