The FA Shelf is hardly bare...

The below quote is from another thread.. the Mike Montgomery thread.. the misconception is that there is no one out there to be signed that could help this club.. that is hardly the case.

Again, no one else to sign. Fill the roster Ted Thompson. This defense should be stellar once again.

Here is a list of players that were on a active roster last season that can be signed.. a good number of these players would help our club out. But my oh my the offseason is over... if I remember correctly, the defensive coaches first at the players live will be in minicamps.. don't you think that they might want to see what they have, formulate a idea of what they need yet and then go shopping?

On paper and in live action are two different things.. patience folks.

A lot of quality guys are still out there, but the philosophy of this regime has been established. They probably won't sign more than one guy and it's going to be a "gem".

We have already signed our FA for this year.

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

B.S... Canty, Burnett, and Olshansky, the monster future HOF stars of this year's FA, are already gone. We are doomed.

There are some stopgap guys out there, but no studs or sure starters.

Holliday, Carter, Berry, Coady, and Wright are all stop gap types out there.

Gotta go with porky on this one - Ted definitely seems to be entrenched in his philosophy. I hope it works out - I'll admit that at the moment I'm having a hard time figuring out how it will, but we'll see what's up when they hit the field in August, I suppose.

Like I said before when teams have signed all their picks and it's time to start trimming the roster there will be a significant number of players available.

I keep hearing "well, he's only a rotational player". Isn't that what we need? It seems to me other than ROLB most starting positions are fairly well set so solid rotational guys along the DL would be fine by me.

If the draft goes well we may find a couple of guys that can dig it out in the trenches and we may well have the ROLB spot by the time the #9 pick comes around or even a little later if we trade back.

I'd be interested in maybe one of the tackles if it worked out, but I wouldn't be heartbroken or annoyed. To me this FA class for our needs is particularly dull.

War, you know as well as I that Jeremy Thompson is going to be given every opportunity to win that job. Ted doesn't trade up for a player very often.

Raji or Andre Smith for me at #9.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that
