[QUOTE="kmac, post: 140464, member: 541"] I think we can have a discussion on this and how it pertains to the Packers' organization without another TT flame war. The following is from PFT. Since free agency opened two weeks ago, 26 teams have signed players who spent the 2006 season with other teams. Six teams, to date, have not signed a single free agent who played elsewhere last year. The Bengals, Ravens, Chargers, Giants, Bears, and Panthers are the franchises who have opted thus far to stand pat. Of that group, both the Giants and the Ravens have traded for new running backs. But none of this six-pack of teams has inked a new veteran player. Four other teams have signed only one new player. The Colts recently inked quarterback John Navarre, a third-year player who received no free-agent tender from the Cardinals. The Packers signed cornerback Frank Walker earlier this week. The Steelers signed offensive lineman Sean Mahan over the weekend. And the Titans recently snagged cornerback Nick Harper. Thoughts? It's interesting to see the company we're in here. All of the best franchises other than the Patriots seem to be taking this road this season, and the Patriots have played Free Agency this way most years until this one. Do you think the best way to go from mediocrity to contender is by following the lead of these franchises, or dropping it like it's hot like the Bucs and 49ers have done this offseason? [/QUOTE]
