This the offensive resigning that worried the most. I think we could handle losing Taucher, but losing Clifton would necessitate a high first round draft pick to take his spot, at the very least. I like the idea of having a change to develop someone, istead of throwing them into the fire right away.

It is a 1 to 3 year deal. At about what he was making under the old contract.

The sooner the replacement takes over the sooner Clifton is cut.

No salary cap to worry about.

The Packers have a low payroll with the young guys and can afford it.

People have to have some faith and trust in Ted Thompson.

So much for our 1st round left tackle.

I still look at LT in the first-round. I haven't seen the structure of this deal yet, but it could basically just be a one year ten million dollar deal and then ten million more over the course of two years. If that's the case, then this is basically a one year deal with Clifton probably out of the picture next year.

I agree.

The OT who's most likely there for us is Brown. He's somewhat raw. Not someone who you could just plug in. Especially in this division. Clifton is nothing more than a band-aid at this point off his career.

The only thing that I can see happening is that we go after a LT later now, instead of reaching in the first. If Brandon Graham is there (Sorry Foster), we won't have to trade back or reach horribly on someone right now.

This does raise one question, though. They resigned Clifton to play LT, obviously. They want Lang to play RT. What on earth are we still doing with Giacomini? I figured that the plan was to groom him into a right tackle. And if that's the case, he should be there by year 3. What on earth is the plan with him?

If the Clifton signing is the start, it's a good deal.

If it turns out to be the "big" OL action of the offseason....well, "beating dead horses" will reach unprecedented levels.

I think this signing is all a result of the Bears and Lions to be honest, If they don't make their d-lines stronger Ted Thompson lets Cliffy go somewhere else.

Thats just my opinion.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I highly doubt that. Ted talked to Clifton's agent way before the signings of VandenBosch and Peppers.

I think Thompson has been trying to resign Clifton but they couldn't agree on price so they let Clifton see what another team would offer (Redskins) and Clifton gave the Packers the choice to match it or not and they did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
