Watkins-gone, Robinson-gone, Keenum-gone... Why oh why did we ever expect anything different from Brian Gutekunst? He is a Ted Thompson clone. Sitting on his hands while all the good free agent sign elsewhere. He will wait until the very end and maybe sign some bargain basement scrub to compete for a starting job. Every single other team gets better but the Packers and their free agent averse leadership sits back and let's all their best players go somewhere else while we just get worse and worse. At least we will get some good comp picks next year. Typical Packet inactivity.


Let's see, did I miss any.

I haven't seen a player worth the money they're getting, especially with the players we have at those positions on the books. The contract Watkins got? Noooo waaaaay maaaan. We just paid Davante but, even if we didn't, Watkin's deal is not a contract I could ever have wanted us to take on.

Honestly, I don't see a lot of value in this free agent class so far. I want to see what happens after Wednesday. You might start to see more team friendly contracts.

Hey we want to look at Robinson oops n/m signed with Bears. Hey we need a TE oops nevermind Barton signing with Bears. Hey the Vikes possibly couldn't be doing anything oops n/m they just upgraded their weakest position. Good thing the Lions aren't doing anything oh n/m they are bringing in Murray and Stewart. But guess what our GM said he was going to be aggressive, maybe he meant aggressively watching the other teams in the division make them better and he would pat because we have a qb that is god but is starting to break down with injuries.

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

Just seems like y'all are down with OPP. Grass is always greener I guess. Plus, there are still plenty of guys available. Free agency doesn't even start until tomorrow. Y'all need to cool your jets and pump your breaks.

I am a little disappointed that there have been no CBs linked to us including the obvious re-signing of House at this point. Also curious that we have not seen any moves on our part concerning restructure or cutting of Matthews, Cobb, Nelson and Bulaga.

Wait til Wednesday and beyond. Things will happen. Also, let's be clear, the most important deal to be done is Aaron Rodgers. He tilts the division.

I have a feeling after the Rodgers contract we may not have the money to compete in the free agent market. Unlike other teams the Packers have real fears of cutting overpaid players loose. (Nelson...Cobb..Clay) It is starting to look like the overpaying our own is the recurring bite in the ass for Packers making a splash in free agency.

We don't have the need to be involved in pre-first day activities. We need fillers, not blockbusters.

As others have said, this isn't a great FA class and no need to overpay for average. It's the issues the team already has with Clay, Cobb, Bulaga and/or Jordy. That's been my only real frustration thus far...no talk of their restructuring.

With the contracts being passed out right now it is hard to say Cobb and Nelson are overpaid. Good WRs are getting 16 million now, not 10.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Zero2Cool (1h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (1h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (1h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (1h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (1h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (1h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (1h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (1h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (2h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (3h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (5h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (7h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (7h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (8h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (8h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (8h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (8h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us
beast (9h) : Packers will get in
beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
