    sign Timmerman

    So what you're saying is you'd rather TT mortgage next season on the backs of the rookie OL (like he did last year) instead of actually fixing the OL and moving forward as a playoff team??

    Salary Cap Information

    Wow, that was a long way around the barn for nothing :tantrum: Anyone have a good idea how much money TT has to play w/ after the Harris and Jenkins deals. My guess is we've spent approx 10M on those two deals and the rookies will likely cost approx 5M to sign? Anyone have better numbers??

    sign Timmerman

    Timmerman is a right guard and Clifton was franchiased at one time I believe. I believe that makes it a little more difficult to move him?? Why not sign LG Dielman from SD, consider Davis from Arizona for RG as many are now projecting him there and make Colledge and Spitz earn their jobs...

    Ted Thompson speaks on his thoughts about the draft.

    Yang or Ying?? It also hints rather harshly that he appears more than willing to let Favre and many of the other core vets here play on w/out much help. Clearly new playmakers are needed to take a BIG step forward next year, but it's a step TT doesn't seem willing to take right now :rubeyes...

    Cullen Jenkins signs a 4-year deal

    The Packers likely would have placed the $1.3 million second-round tender on Jenkins in restricted free agency, meaning another team would have had to give up a second-round pick to sign him. Instead, Jenkins will make just under $7 million this year and about $9.5 million over the first two...

    Cullen Jenkins signs a 4-year deal

    Just to piggyback on a few of the detractors comments: Anyone believe we could have tendered Jenkins, watched how he played for a season @ DE, and then spent the money on him long term? I'm sure it may have cost us a little more in the long run, but we could have used the money spent for...

    Run to Daylight: Return to Glory…

    It would be nice to see Beech become a asset as a KR. Likewise, you have to wonder if Morency could help w/ this and or PR duties? In addition, all have better than avg. receiving skills and the speed to make something happen on the edge. Question is, why don't we see the screen pass as...

    GM has improved Packers, but by how much?

    I'm not a big Sherman fan, but at least he tried to give Favre weapons even to a fault. He seemed to understand that the time to try and win was w/ the core group they had assembled. The mis-conception is that Wolf did a great job of this, but he missed on quite a few draft picks as well, and...

    2007 Packers #1 draft pick by Yahoo sports.

    No doubt, Green and Morency look good enough, if the OL is improved so they actually have a few holes to run through.

    GM has improved Packers, but by how much?

    “You have to be able to play defense, and you have to be able to run the ball,” Thompson said. “Normally, those teams are the ones that - even though other teams are kind of successful in the playoffs - can hang in in the playoffs.” So when is he going to address the running game?? I'm...

    NFL's top free agents at every position

    Hard to say how Teddy Boy handles FA this season?? However, one thing is clear; there are several players available that could help the Packers become better. Question is, just how many of those folks will be available when the time comes? Unfortunately, I think many will be locked up by...

    Little tidbit about Marshawn Lynch's ability.....

    Is this kid a charactor risk??

    Colledge, Spitz, Moll told not to be content

    I understand the concern w/ Hutchinson and Bently; however, there were other opitons I've discussed in the past. I guess a lot of it has to do w/ how much value or the emphasis you place on the running game. For me, it's the engine of the team. Any team that can run the ball effectively...

    Favre retirement would provide salary-cap windfall

    Well thanks! Truely, I can't see how any true Packer Fan could see it any other way. Certainly, TT could go too far (Sherman), but I don't think one or two additional players is going to do that? We need an NFL ready OG to help make the run game go and have for 3 years now. Surely, we...

    Favre retirement would provide salary-cap windfall

    While I understand the cap saving concept for future years, I also understand that it limits the team w/ what they can do in FA NOW while Favre and the Core Vets are around. Clearly, this year's team would have benefited greatly w/ an additional playmaker or two. Likewise, much of any money...
