I'm happy with the addition of a NT; even thou we dont know how much he will play.

If we grabbed Carter; I would be happy with our FA drafting IMO. As long as we filled the Oline holes with the draft.

I realize these guys may just be back ups. But still decent backups IMO and needed postions. The safety sounds like a nice pick up (familar with the 3-4 backfield and being on a SB team) - and likes to hit hard.

I mean it was a little dissappointing we didnt pick up Chris Canty, even thou alot of guys liked Peppers he would of been quite expensive for a unknown in a 3-4, and we missed out on Igor or(can never spell his name).

Maybe I am trying to be happy with what little Ted got us. Not sure. I know I was just slightly relieved after we singed Soi (NT). And would feel much better if we grabbed Carter.

So we will have more $ to sign our key players; no excuse not to get them signed - err unless they have jay cutler's/favre's agent 😉

It is what it is. Canty didn't want to come here, even though there were discussions. I personally don't want a player here who is a) overpaid AND b) not happy being where he is. That is just a recipe for lackadaisical play and all around failure.
I'm glad we got a little possible depth at NT as well.
I'm just ready for the 2009 season.

<edit> Sorry was thinking of Canty. I'm willing to accept GB's scouts when it comes to Carter/Holliday, although I thought Holliday would've been fun.

Glad to see Duke Preston and Anthony Smith brought in, but the team needed to add a starter via trade or free agency. I think a Vonnie Holiday would make so much sense, but I don't see GB signing a veteran to replace Justin Harrell.

He has been a cerebral superstar when it comes to free agency.

Many NFL GM's have been following the path he cut through the thick bush that leads to "Championships" since he won the NFL Executive Of The Year Award.

Many experts have said the teams that did not get involved in the "Free Agency Hoop-la" this year were the ultimate winners.

NOW.... I can appreciate the people who cry and scream for FA pick ups, however, and with all respect, it has not worked as often as it has. And... when it did it was years ago, and not in today's NFL.

Green Bay is a very smart football organization. Give the organization that at least. If the Packers organization has faith in Ted, which I think they do.... Well so do I.

Super Bowl This Year... And it will shock the world.

The team said they were satisfied with the personnel they had and the FA movement to this point has been reflective of that. I like that we made some moves at some positions of need. Let's see what we get in the draft and with the undrafted free agents.

My thoughts exactly. 2009 is the year I made a decision whether I love or hate Ted Thompson, and it has EVERYTHING to do with our record. I don't care if he picks his nose and eats it. If the guy builds us a winning team, that's all I care about.

My other opinion on FA is that with the money floating around with the increased cap, the FA's available were NOT valued by their old team. Their own team had already made the decision that they're not worth the money they are demanding in FA, and their old team is where they are most valuable (know the system, etc.).
