The Green Bay Packers have signed G Adrian Battles, T Chris Campbell, S Michael Greco, LB Cardia Jackson, S Anthony Levine, WR Antonio Robinson, DT Jay Ross, WR Chastin West and LB/DE Curtis Young. The transactions were announced Thursday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Levine finished the season on practice squad/injured, while the other eight players concluded the season on the practice squad.

Anybody with a keener eye, ear or memory care to let me know if any of this is good news or just meaningless random filler?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

This pretty much means that we're adding our PS to our regular roster now that the season is over.

At least now we know that our Free agency signings have been done.

Hope no one was excited for a big name signing.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

They were probably signed to Reserve/Future contracts to prevent any other team from snagging them. As long as they remained on the practice squad, they could be sniped at any time by another team without warning.

Why are people whining about this? They do it every season.

I direct your attention to this article about the Steelers, which came out before the Super Bowl. It's not exactly the same situation, but it's fairly similar.

I don't see anybody whining. They're just wondering if it is significant. It isn't. They're just practice squad guys.

The offseason roster goes to 80 players.

With the Packers you have the final 53 less those whose contracts have expired like Cullen Jenkins. Some we don't know if they are free agents until the new CBA.

There are 16 players on IR.

These 8 practice squad guys.

The draft picks can't be added until after the CBA. They don't count against the 80 player limit until they are signed.

Who needs free agency if the CBA isn't signed until September? Not the Packers!! There is no need or room for free agents.

A long work stoppage actually gives the Packers an advantage.

dfosterf (4h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (4h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (4h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (4h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (5h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (5h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (5h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (5h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (5h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (5h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (5h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (5h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (5h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (5h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (5h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (5h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (12h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
