Why are we signing so many other teams scraps?

The Packers signed linebacker Ahmad Brooks last week and they've added another former member of the 49ers defense. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Packers have signed defensive lineman Quinton Dial. Dial was released by the 49ers over the weekend and paid the Packers a visit on Monday. Dial started 26 games for [more]

But probably trying to improve the depth of the team.

It seems like they are adding toughness and run stopping guys, which is nice, especially since we're about to face a number of teams that like to use power running in our first 5 games.

Everyone (on DL) is out there practicing, so I'm thinking it's not about injury, but simply upgrading.

If they didn't think that, that would make them insane, and I don't think they make changes like this with no thought going into it. I saw a lot from Ringo this preseason so I'm sure they did too.

Almost 1000 players just hit the Free Agent market , if a GM did not take an honest look to if he could strengthen his team , then he would not be doing his job . I am surprised by TT's level of interest this season. Perhaps he is finally feeling the heat now !

Starting Defensive lineman cut because he didn't fit with a team anymore after they switched to a 4-3. Also released as part of a youth movement. This guy sure sounds like an upgrade over our #5 dlineman. Ill take the upgrades where i can get them.

I like this... therefore, it must not be Ted. :)

Weird to add two pieces from the worst run D in the league but we will be tougher with Odom, Brooks and Dial. That has been one of my major complaints. Softness on D, and no speed on O, and a lack of trying to upgrade crap players via more than just the draft. I'm a much happier fan this season than most.

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."

It's been really nice aggressively trying to upgrade both ends of the depth chart. Sure still some tough spots but old Ted would just wait for the young guy to develop and hope for a jump. New Ted not waiting anymore. Go time

Martha Careful (14m) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (2h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (2h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (2h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (2h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (2h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (3h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (3h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (3h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (3h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (4h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (4h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (4h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (11h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (13h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (14h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (16h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (16h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (19h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (19h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (21h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little
