I like Lacy......if he could just remain HEALTHY!
He's either out of shape, or gets hurt. You can't depend on someone that's always injured.
If he can stay on the field, and out of McDonald's, he would be a great guy to keep.

Everybody hates Jones and yeah he's a knucklehead but I actually tried to focus on him when I saw him in there and don't think he's as bad as people think he is. He's very strong on the edge and doesn't give any ground. He hasn't been good at all at finishing but he does put pressure on the QB at a decent rate. The play I remember most was against Philadelphia, Wentz came out of the gate pretty strong against us but then Datone crushed him in the ribs right when he was getting the ball off in like the 1st or 2nd Quarter and he looked like he just wanted to go home after that. There's no stat for that play but it counted for something.

I'm fine with bring back Jones as a cheap rotational guy.

I don't normally get into the money as much as you did in yours.

I think the Packers will feel the need to get Nick Perry and Jared Cook resigned as they need as much pass rush as they can get and because Cook really helped open up their offense.

I also think the Packers will focus on getting Lang and/or Tretter resigned. I think we all want Lang resigned. It'd be nice to have both resigned, and keep our depth there, but one might be leaving via FAs.

After that I think Hyde shouldn't be overlooked because his versatility frees up a lot of options including using him at CB or Burnett at the hybrid LB position.

I think Mason Crosby pitch for resigning LS Brett Goode is important... Crosby basically said, he's never seen Goode mess up a single snap... not even in practice... I don't know if what Crosby said is true, but I don't remember ever seeing a bad one from Goode and I saw multiple bad snaps in a couple of different games this season. A good long snapper is important to have.

I could see the Packers/Lacy agreeing to a one year prove it type deal like Perry got... with some clauses about being in shape or under a certain weight etc etc.

RB Christine Michael has some nice physical skill, but I still have big questions about him, like why didn't the Packers ever seem to fully trust him to give him more chances? or more drives? It just felt like, they didn't mentally trust him or something... and maybe it's simply because he came in mid season and isn't a fast learner... though some rumors suggested he never fully picked up the Seahawks system (audibles/blocking/other stuff) even after years being there. So I'd like to see him back, but I think there is a reason no one has invested that much into him since the draft... I would want to know more (which the Packers surely do since he has been on the team)... but I'd want the RB coach opinion.

Also Datone might be had at a good price and Mike McCarthy did have very nice things to say about him after the Seahawks game... maybe Datone just needs more time at the new position, I think I'd try to get a muliyear deal at a cheap rate.

Keep all the RFAs and ERFA other than maybe Tripp (I'm okay with keeping him, just maybe not at the RFA tag price... offer him minimum).
