Jimmy Graham was actually on my unreasonable list.

Graham is a tall WR and the Seahawks at times have asked him to play like a blocking TE, and as you might expect, it's had a lot of bad results. Get him with a better OL (so he doesn't have to block so much) and use him more like a possession WR and I think some team could have a great weapon.

This is the five I would target without going into major analysis of what we currently have and in-depth of what is out there.

DE Demarcus Lawrence
DT Sheldon Richardson
CB Malcolm Butler (only if he lasts past the first rush of free agent signings)
WR Josh Gordon
CB Trumaine Johnson

The thing with depending on the draft to fill holes instead of free agency is, rookies are an unknown commodity. A veteran presence is known. A rookie may be good, but often takes time to develope and doesn't give immediate help for the current season.
That's what cost the Packers for the last several seasons. Depending on new guys to keep the defense afloat.

Packers should be targeting CB, OLB, TE and WR period... and maybe a RT and backup QB too. By that I mean they need to know all the guys on the market (especially their talent level and how they'd fit in the Packers scheme) and what they would be willing to offer for their services.

Most important player on that list of free agents is Morgan Burnett...

I'd love Josh Gordon but he is an exclusive rights free agent and according to what I could find his price tag would be under a million for the Browns and if they make that offer no one else could sign him.

Unless the Browns cut him he ain't going anywhere and after sticking with him through all this I don't see why they would do that.

beast (5h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (10h) : meh

Zero2Cool (14h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (14h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (14h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (17h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (17h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (20h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
