Do you want the Packers to sign him to a reasonable contract?

Free agent defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois is continuing his tour, and his next stop is Green Bay.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the veteran lineman is heading that way after previous stops in Seattle and Chicago, after he was released by Washington.

The 30-year-old has drawn interest from the Packers before, but he signed a deal with the Colts in 2013 instead.

I don't know a whole lot about this guy other than he was apparently a good locker room guy in Washington. With how thin the team is on the line and still a lot of cap space for another FA, or extending Linsley, Adams, and HHCD, I guess why not?!?

Defensive line, across the board, is the priority from here on out.

Certainly not a game changer but sounds like solid depth in the rotation which is about all you can expect from here to the draft barring some sort of trade . A reasonable contract? Sure. I'm not sure what that would be but I wouldn't think it would be much.

He's probably not a great full time Nose tackle, but could play there in a pinch along with all the other spots on the line. Would be a great depth signing, especially with Guion messing up.

Since he was cut he will not count against future compensatory picks.

I do not think the Packers can count on Guion any longer and need to have a plan for depth now that Datone and Peppers have left and both played a fair amount of DL in recent years.

I think this would be a good signing as insurance in case Clark and Lowry do not develop and Guion does not return.

Can almost never have enough big bodies to rotate in the Dline. Now just find another inside pass rusher to help Daniels.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
