The thing though is... the Bears are on the hook for about twice that for a single player.. they can tout all they want they could bail on the deal after one year.. but as the details slowly sink in.. they are married to the guy for basically three year.. or at least the damage will last three years.

For a guy with motivational issues... we have never heard that type of complaint about any of these three.. hell Cliffy has basically sold his body out to keep playing this long.. the Sapp hit.. surgery after surgery... guy lives and breathes football..

Peppers... some question why he plays... one former teammate even offered something to the fact of if he liked football imagine what he could do... that isn't someone I sell my franchise out for.

Well I hope peppers sucks cuz he'll be coming for rodgers ... I agree with you about the above thou; I like our players and their motivation much more then peppers although that guy has a nice rush.

Spending 7 million on Clifton may have been a necessary part of the puzzle. But it is far from being "active" unless one is convinced that Clifton is the answer at LT.

If your team has bona fide issues "signing your own" is NOT a sufficient strategy. Necessary, yes. Sufficient, no.

Count all three of them as FAs if you want. Then "active" means something greater than or equal to 4 signings.

I'm ecstatic that they re-signed Pickett. IMO he was the single most important "Packer FA" to keep.

I'm quite happy that Collins was signed. (Even though I think he's a bit overrated by many).

And I'm okay with the Clifton signing. (Even though I am certain he is overrated.)

But I am by no means satisfied. Not even close.

Don't make a mistake in me thinking we are active in FA... what I am saying for a team that only reported a 4 Million dollar profit laying out that much dough has a limit.

To play in the FA market.. it takes greenbacks.. I for one can see after the structure of these deals why we would be quiet this season.

In the upcoming season, we have about 31 million reasons why we shouldn't be more pro active in Free Agency.

If there was a player out there that was a missing piece for us, go for it. I'm not seeing that though. We need depth at CB and Safety as well as another pass rushing OLB to compliment Matthews III.


I'm kind of curious to learn how much other teams have spent in Free Agency for this upcoming season. We're down for 31 million and that's not even including the deal that Tauscher is going to get.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
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.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
