He won't sign for cheap. The Vikes need a RT bad and will offer him or Marc Columbo decent money.

If Taush suffered a major knee injury, any team signing him will sign him for cheap; no one is going to throw money at a 30 something FA RT coming off a serious knee injury.

Let me introduce you to MM's vernacular re. injuries:
A minor injury means a few weeks. A "set back" refers to an aggrevated injury which equals our for a couple of weeks.

McCarthy called Tausher's injury "significant". Not a good sign. At all, given McCarthy usually sugar coats his injury reports.

I just doubt he can be re-signed on the cheap. Somebody will pay him. My guess is that we will not see him n a Packer uniform again. Is he better than Moll? Yeah. Is he $5 million a year better than Moll? Nope.

He is old and apparently will be coming off a significant injury (sucks for him). I just don't know to many teams that would be excited about signing a player in his situation. If he's cheap, he might be worth bringing back, but we need a long term answer at RT.

Really, we need a long term answer at every o-line position, I just don't think any of the guys, except maybe Colledge and Spitz, are worth keeping. Clifton and Taush are done. Wells gets swallowed up on every snap. We need help!!!

Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, and Brandon Chillar are indeed the only unrestricted free agents on this team.

I would be interested in a statistical discussion of how often undrafted free agents vs. unrestricted free agents make a significant impact on their teams over the duration of their contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if a higher percentage of undrafted free agents pan out overall, at least with respect to the value of their contracts.

The skills to pick an undrafted free agent are very similar to selecting talent in the draft. In my opinion, Thompson does an outstanding job during the draft. Not every pick is going to be a hit, and the more opportunities you have the more hits you'll have, in the long term. Sherman was the opposite, trading away picks to move up, which worked sometimes (Javon Walker) but also had it's misses (BJ Sanders for a 3rd and a 5th, since Sherman used the 5th to trade up).

The problem with Sherman's approach is that you lose your depth and if your starters go down with injuries you're toast.

Thompson's approach leads to a team stocked with a lot of young players, though, and in my opinion where he could do a better job is in bringing in experienced players to provide leadership (Woodson/Pickett/Chillar notwithstanding). With a young club you're going to get a lot of the things that have been plaguing the Packers this year (penalties, etc).

if you give it a few more years, the guys Thompson drafted in his early years with the team will be the veterans..

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
