Bummer to lose him, but I'm not sure if the Packers have enough money to go around. Hopefully he nets the Packers a nice compensatory selection, but it will probably only be a 5th or a 6th.

Browns just paid 12M for both Zeitler and Biotano on an extension.

There were 8+ teams after Tretter and he signed in the first few hours with Cleveland. That means its no less than 8M per, which nets us a solid 4th! If he got closer to 10M in could be a 3rd.

Not sure this is a win for the Packers. The price for TJ just went up and we lost a player who when healthy could be a quality starting RG, or C. And we have nobody behind Linsley who we are going to have to pay next year since we don't have a replacement for him anymore. Even if we did get a 3rd round comp pick next year, that does nothing to help us now, and probably not for 3-4 years minimum.

It looks like Tretter is getting just over 5m a year without a big guarantee. I would have been fine with paying that. Hyde got 6m/year and 14m guaranteed, I am more than fine with letting that one go. Hyde was crap way more often than he actually made a play. I bet buffalo will be regretting that one.

As for Hyde, although I liked him more than you apparently did, 14 mil guaranteed is ridiculous for a career backup. Good for him, I wish him well, but no way the team can pay that.

Via Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers have re-signed center-guard Don Barclay to a one-year, $1.3 million deal.

Tretter's contract was initially reported as 3 years 16.75M and 10M guaranteed. That would have gotten us a 4th.

But, the it's Kelly Ann Conway 10M. The signing bonus is only 4.5M, 2M base guaranteed in 2017 and 3.5M guaranteed at beginning of 2018 season. So that will probably be a 5th.

Browns can get out after 1 year at 6.75M [Cap = 3.75M] with 3M dead cap.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (6h) : HUMP DAY

beast (6h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (6h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (6h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (6h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (6h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (9h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (22h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
