Typically this time of the year I'm glued to my computer/laptop searching for rumors on what the Packers will do. This is the first season, err off season that I have absolutely no interest in continuing that.

There aren't any real gems out there and with that said, Ted won't be active at all.

So, bleh.

Yes, it does seem this offseason is a little blase. I'm more interested in who we're getting rid of more than who we're picking up at the moment.

IMO Free agency is never boring. While the Packers may not be making the signings, I like to see what other teams are doing and paying. So also when somebody says we should have gotten player X, I know what they ended up getting, and if it would have been a good move for the Pack.

Also seeing what the competition will look like.

Well we made the nfl network as one of the most disappointing teams so far this offseason lol. Don't they know Ted Thompson don't like free agency it's his vacation time. He heads to the beaches of Hawaii to catch some sun and work on his ummmm tan 😛
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Ted never vacations.


The Packers interest indicates they think highly of Canty as a possible piece in their new 3-4 defense, and they have more than enough salary-cap room (about $34 million) to sign him, though that also would mean eventually losing one or more of their own players who will be free agents a year from now.



This. Always a double edged sword.

No need for a signing now to mean losing anyone in the future. At least not for money reason. Thompson and the purse string holders have good management, and will make sure that money is available when needed.

This time of a year is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, part of me really wishes that Green Bay was in the mix for some of these players, wheeling and dealing and making waves.

On the other hand, I appreciate the organization's commitment to fiscal responsibility and focusing on signing the young guns of the team to long term deals.

I like that I'll be able to watch players like Jennings and Collins in the Green and Gold for a long time, but damn if I don't wish Green Bay would some sort of a splash in free agency.

If the Redskins can somehow sign Haynesworth, Hall, and Dockerty with the huge contracts they were given with the limited cap space the team had, I think the Packers will be able to sign their own free agents next year... Besides, after next year the Packers may cut Clifton or someone to free up more cash.

How are we one of the most disappointing teams this offseason? They completely redid the entire defensive coaching staff and scheme.

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (46m) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked
Zero2Cool (47m) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving
Zero2Cool (47m) : oops meant $10m cap hit
Zero2Cool (48m) : And pre june is $10m savings
Zero2Cool (48m) : Can't make him play.

dfosterf (2h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant
Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd
Zero2Cool (2h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.
Zero2Cool (2h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.
dfosterf (2h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil
dfosterf (2h) : Poor bastards only have 11
Zero2Cool (2h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

dfosterf (3h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders
Martha Careful (15h) : Tyler Linderbaum C
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Cap space?
Zero2Cool (15h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?
Mucky Tundra (17h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason
beast (18h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false
beast (18h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least
Zero2Cool (20h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Er getting traded twice like that
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal
Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.
Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?
Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT
Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.
beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT
beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source
buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?
buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.
Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little
Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
