Brown goes to Raiders for a 3rd and fifth and:

NEVILLE E. GUARD, USA TODAY SPORTS
Per NFL Network, Brown will receive a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million (with a maximum value of $54.1 million) with $30.1 million of it guaranteed.

Good luck.

Packers can spend that 54mil on players they need .

Go pack go.....that’s the feeling that many of us have. The past several years it seemed like the Packers would rather sit on their bundle of cash and not do what it would take to get another championship.
Yes, they paid Rodgers, but he alone can’t do it alone.

You can only hope Ted taught Gute well and can have the success Thompson had as The Packers GM.

(Cue the let's compare The Packers to The Patriots bullshit argument).

How about Compare The Packers to the other 30 teams in the NFL while Ted Thompson was GM.

2nd in win totals.
Playoffs 9 times, including 8 straight.
4 NFC Championship games.
1 Super Bowl(only The Giants had 2)

Now quit crying about Ted Thompson and hope Gute has learned well.

If this is the feeling you have, you're not paying attention to the Green Bay Packers. It's quite clear to everyone Brian is different than Ted. We'll find out if different is better. The verdict is...

I think the only way he can prove he is different is to make some free agent moves that shows he will do what it takes to win titles.
Not just wait for the other teams to take the best players, and then pick from the left over garbage pile.
To try to get by on draft picks that might take years to develop, won’t get a championship with the few years our future HOF QB has left.
If they are not smart enough to realize that, then get ready for a replay of the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Ted didn't jump into FA much, other than to sign The Packers FA's, which he never got credit for, but when he did jump in, he usually made a big splash.
Woodson, Peppers, the 1st 2 to come to mind, DL played at Ohio State, and more.
The thing with signing top tier FA's, you better hit, if you don't, it could take several years to recuperate your losses.

Missing on most of your draft choices doesn't work very well either. There are a lot of safeties in FA this year and I think a few of them could really help the Packers. I hope Gute gets one of them which will free up an early draft pick. I will be very disappointed if we don't get at least one starter in FA at either safety, OL, LB or slot receiver and I am realluy hoping for two. If they don't work out they don't work out but they should be penciled in as our starters and not guys who will get the chance to compete. I'll stop short of saying the garbage pile like Cheesey did as I think some of these guys are OK players and depth is important but they are just not starter quality and that's what we need.

I know exactly what you meant though Cheesey and I agree with you.

Compare the pick up of Jared Cook compared to Graham.
Cook made plays, and they let him leave. Then picked up Jimmy Graham, who seems to be “over the hill”. Maybe he will prove me wrong next season (I hope).
Yes, you better hit on your FAs.
But, as was already stated, the same goes for your draft choices.
With a FA, you are picking up someone that has shown they at least can play in the NFL. With draft choices, you don’t know.

I'm sure they are interested in Brown. If he was gonna come herenfornthe minimum, they'd be all over it.

The question as always is, at what price?

Remember, dude is 30. That's the magic number.
