GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When LeGarrette Blount signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last week, it closed the door on any NFL free agent who would have impacted the compensatory pick formula for the 2018 draft.


A third-rounder for losing guard T.J. Lang, who signed with the Detroit Lions

A fifth-rounder for center JC Tretter, who signed with the Cleveland Browns

A sixth-rounder for tight end Jared Cook, who signed with the Oakland Raiders

A sixth-rounder for running back Eddie Lacy, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks

That's why Ted had to let Lang go. Because he signed Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks. So to balance that out with the compensatory formula, he had to lose an extra guy or two.

It's interesting that the formula doesn't package 2 or 3 transactions together and bump the comp pick into a higher round.

If we do in fact get a 3rd round for Lang it is hard not to be pretty happy considering the injuries that have hampered him recently. Hopefully the OL can adapt and still provide Aaron with the great pass protection he has received as with the WRs and Bennett our passing game looks pretty darn unstoppable if Aaron can go through his progressions.

Teach Aaron to get the ball out in under 3.5 and it won't be an issue.

Sadly we didn't get anything for Datone and he also went to a NFC North rival... but they limit comp selection to 4 per team per year.

Also most importantly (as I understand it) Lang isn't lock into a 3rd yet. At least it's my understanding that comp selection aren't locked in until the season ends. According to overthecap.com , they project to get a 3rd round comp selection, a player has to be in the top 96 paid players at the end of the season OR get some other factors in. Lang is currently at 94 highest paid player...

But a couple of players get new deals during the season.... if a couple players currently lower than Lang, get new contracts higher than Lang, he could drop...

Of course if some players with higher contracts than Lang get released before the season, that could help Lang.

Other factors include: Playing time percentage and post season award honors....
In other words Lang getting to the pro bowl would sure help the Packers cause for a 3rd round comp pick
. If Lang stays healthy and has a decent season, then you know Paclerk players and coaches will vote for him. Fans could vote him in, as both a thank you and to help the Packers cause.


VOTE FOR T.J. LANG TO MAKE NEXT YEAR'S PRO BOWL TEAM!!!! ...
even if he plays as bad as Jeff Saturday did in his last season.

Nice work beast. One of the considerations for new contracts is, is it an extension or did the current contract get re-worked. If it is an extension then it won't hurt.

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

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
