I think that he knows he will be a free agent next year. I am hoping this works out well for us as no doubt he is going to want to put out some good tape as back surgery is not likely to generate much takers.

This is a good thing. Every player gets beat up as the season wears on. Z will be fresh and can put pressure on the offense.

Also if best healthy, which I don't know if he is or not, he could be a locked to be back.

Packers will need to either trade, release or extension many contracts to create cap room, so I think Rodgers, Amos, Turner, Z. Smith, P. Smith and others will get extension and go for it again next year.

PFT: Za’Darius Smith is expected back at practice this week

Um, do the Packers officially practice during the bye week?

Like, with all the new practice rules in the CBA, and I'm pretty sure players get the week off during the in season bye week.

So what about a playoff bye week? Do they practice, or get the week off?

It would be good to get Z back for his pass rush. I'd imagine he'd be relegated to passing downs since he's probably not in shape to last a whole game at his normal snap count.

Zero2Cool (9h) : and Vikings say JJ is QB1

beast (9h) : Rumors: Steelers and Giants are waiting on Rodgers answer, while Rodgers is waiting on the Vikings answer, Rodgers wants Vikings

beast (11h) : Then maybe they'll be paying you to stop

Zero2Cool (11h) : you really really do not want to see me dance

beast (11h) : Ookay, get up on the pole and start dancing, and I'll try to send people over to give you $1 bills

Zero2Cool (11h) : I'm an issue. Throw money at me, I will go away.

beast (11h) : Bears have thrown a lot of money and draft picks at QBs and haven't found one (though maybe they finally have now)

beast (11h) : Throwing money and draft picks at issues don't necessarily fix an issue

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I keep on hearing pass rush, but it astounds me how much $$ we have invested and draft picks and still don't have one.

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Hope we don't avoid someone like Christian Gonzalez which would have been a real gift last season.

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : There always seems to be a high draft pick that slips and is there when we pick.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Vikings, per Mike Silver.

Zero2Cool (18h) : You're not gonna go for what your board says? Just straight up positions?

Martha Careful (18h) : my drafts would be OL DL and CB centric. Preferably from power 4 conferences who have started 2+ years

Mucky Tundra (15-Mar) : How much of that is guaranteed?

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : $45m over three years. Yikes.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Seahawks sign Cooper Kupp

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : Colts sign CB Corey Ballentine.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : At least give it some spins in your mocks. Not Martha, she's disqualified, lol

dfosterf (14-Mar) : You have to like Tyliek Williams DL from Ohio State to agree with me on this

dfosterf (14-Mar) : quality dl in the 2nd and quality edge in the 3rd

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Taking Mathew Golden WR in the 1st is consistently working out for me in getting q

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : LB Eric Wilson to Vikings

Zero2Cool (13-Mar) : Hobbs said Jaire reached out and congratulated him.

Martha Careful (13-Mar) : ditto, I wish nothing but the best for AJ Diilan and Josh Myers. and yes dfosterf, you are correct

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Might be waiting for the right place, or right cash, or both

dhazer (12-Mar) : I can't believe Chubb is still a free agent why wouldnt someone take a chance on him he is a stud with stuff to prove

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : I wanna find it too

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : if they find it, i wanna know how !!

dfosterf (12-Mar) : OTC has increased Packers cap room to over 32 mil

Martha Careful (12-Mar) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Can't make him play.
