Clay still has some juice left, but he hasn't been a great pass rusher in years. I think he could still be a great ILB though. Too bad he's not interested, it would seem. I think he could be a difference maker there for a few more years.

Clay is nothing more than a pass rush specialist at this stage of his career. If we could find a good edge seal LB for first downs, that'd be great.

I disagree with the ILB thing. I think with time and dedication (which he didn't have enough of either in the past), he would at least be as effective of an ILB as he is an OLB, and it's possible he could be better. I could also see him only being a pass rush specialist, albeit not a great one. I could see him being a decent asset for a team like New England though.

Irrespective of positions at the time of signing, at this point, given the realities of performance and age, it is not a great surprise if they did not want to continue with CMIII or Randall Cobb (or both). I personally would wait on the course of action until I see the performance for the balance of the year.
The Pro's for CMIII
- Last Two games have been had good performances (irrespective of penalties)
- He brings all he has, although its does not seem to be as much as he used to have
- He can do a lot of different things for you defensively, albeit coverage is not great
The Con's For CMIII
- He is really expensive IMO
- He consistently does NOT set a strong edge

Lets bear in mind that he, along with the others are learning a new defense.

Regardless, with strong edge rushers in the draft, I would rather have them deploy assets on both the offensive defensive lines, both in the draft and free agency. We need:
- a right guard
- a serviceable back-up OT
- 2 edge rushers
- a Safety (although arguably, you might be able to convert a corner)

If either guy is here next year, IMO it should be at lower $$ and in the case of CMIII significantly lower $$$

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
