I was just thinking today about what a smart move would be for Free Agents this year. The thought I came up with may sound funny but in logic I think would be smart. If I was a free agent I would probably look for the best 1 year deal I could get or maybe even sign a team friendly contract if the team was set to win a Super Bowl this year. The reason I bring that up is because so many teams are in cap hell this year you could have a small choices of going to. So try and get a ring this year and then next year when the cap jumps way up you can still look for a great team or you can cash in on having so many teams with cap space. So is my thinking way out of line or no? Lets hear what you'se guys think?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Dhazer, you have a great way of thinking. If I was a player, and was really good, I’d do exactly like you said.
The problem is, we have no idea what drives each player.
If it’s mostly money, as we just saw with Watt, then I guess a SB ring isn’t as important as people like you and me think.

That’s where I can’t understand some players. How much money is enough money? If you already have multi millions in the bank, you’d think that getting a championship would shift the player into wanting to be on a team that had a better chance of getting it for them.
But that’s my line of thought.

This list is getting older by the minute. I am very upset that J'Mon More is rated so low. He would be great if he could only catch the ball. 🤣

Packers are the only team that has not signed an outside FA yet.

Gute protecting those comp picks? Then again, I don't think we got many. Maybe a 4th for Linsley, and very late one for RB Williams. Also due to we don't have a lot of cap space.

But at some point, we need to sign a CB (or two), possibile a Center for depth and a returner.

I'm thinking we're grabbing CB Kevin King, Returner Ervin and C Brett Jones. Maybe some other CB too... but if not, sign some vet after the draft.

Gotta have cap room before signing new dudes. Love getting a CB. About half way through the season I said I wouldn't be shocked if King came back. Are there players who are better than he is that don't want a King's ransom? (Pun intended.) I'm more than willing to give Erin another shot at being the returner and occasional RB.

Michael Rodney @ Packers Notes.com has a list of Intriguing Lower-Tier Free Agents 

It’s easy to list the top free agents at every position, but unearthing hidden gems takes more than just copy and pasting from Pro Football Focus or Sports Illustrated. It takes watching a lot of tape. Here are three lower-tier free agents who could provide big bangs for little bucks:

ALEX ERICKSON (WR/Bengals)
MORGAN FOX (DE/Rams)
PATRICK ONWUASOR (ILB/Jets)
DEMARCUS WALKER (DL/Broncos)



He has a paragraph on each of them on his website.

After reading his comments, I am kind of MEH on all of them. Perhaps Onwuasor would be worth the vet min as a ST player.

beast (1h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (5h) : meh
Zero2Cool (10h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (10h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (10h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (13h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (13h) : Only 4
wpr (13h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (15h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (16h) : 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.
