"Packers agreed to terms with DL Anthony Hargrove, formerly of the Saints.
Hargrove, 28, has been primarily an interior pass rusher in recent seasons, but the Packers will likely give him a look as a right end in the role once filled by Cullen Jenkins. The Packers can't count on Mike Neal after a four-game PEDs suspension, and C.J. Wilson and Jarius Wynn are "just guys." Hargrove can get after the quarterback when his head is on straight."

I'm not trying to minimize the signing. He seems like an upgrade on paper, but whether that translates into success in our system or not remains to be seen. Ultimately though, I believe most of the defensive free agent signings are more to bring a guy to camp in an attempt to create more competition for the position. Hopefully things pan out for Hargrove and he provides a much needed boost for our defense, but I'm not looking at any of these signings as being "The answer."
Glass half-empty guy, huh?
I don't think any one player could be an "answer", but it is a definite upgrade over Jarius Wynn and CJ Wilson. Hargrove is an instant improvement over both guys. As of right now, he would have to the favorite to be the opening day starter at defensive end. Plus, the line needs depth. The rotation last year was horrible.
Good grief, I think mostly any one of us, including Kitten would be an upgrade over Wynn and Wilson.
Yeah, I heard she was cat quick.
.. not so sure this is a good pickup. 19.5 sacks in 8 years, and too underweight to hold up against the run. A starter type DE still needs to be addressed in the draft with Pickett entering his last years.
