He's already replaced with Nick Perry and Datone Jones. Add Fackrell to that next year. Maybe dropping some weight will make Jayrone as good as he was last year.

You can let players go... hell EVERY SINGLE TEAM DOES! ... The Packers just recently let Sitton go...

This ain't Madden... you can't keep everyone, and you can't redo every deal when you run into a cap problem.

If the team is able to sign Tretter or Lang the other could be gone since they have Lindsey.

And Lindsley is a competent player and might make Lang expendable, but Tretter is young, intelligent and very athletic. He's a better version of Mike Flanagan in my opinion, and even more versatile. Letting him walk would be really foolish. In fact, he better be extended before December or Ted Thompson should be gone.

Interesting point about RT... if he can pass block just as good or better than Bulaga then that might be interesting. When Bulaga seemed to be struggling a little more, I thought he was having a knee problem and that he might have to move to OG, but he seemed to pull out of that.

Of course, maybe they already got Spriggs for that instead.

Not sure how long Bulaga's contract is for. I don't see the Packers not trying to sign TJ Lang, but Ted Thompson does not have a good track record with resigning veteran guards. Should be interesting to see how things shake out.

I guess the argument will be at center, but I just think Tretter is a much more versatile player. Very impressed with his combination of strength, speed, and intelligence.

With Peppers coming off the payroll, along with a few others, and the additional space we have I doubt we will be in a place where we need to cut Matthews. The top RB'S in the NFL are garnering 6-8 million. Trotter shouldn't be expensive and if he is we have leverage with Linsley, so letting him walk wouldn't hurt us.

When it comes down to it, if we are asking if we want to keep Matthews over any of those guys I won't even think about it until we talk about Lacy. If presedence with Peppers tells us anything- Ted is faithful to his contract in paying that last expensive year.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!
