[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 543224, member: 5830"] As with anybody, I'd be fine with Green Bay bringing him in for a workout and checking out his knees. I'm not sure that him being a veteran implies that he can magically coach/fix/mentor away our problems in the secondary, especially when he's never played in Capers' defense. If he can play and his knees still have some life, he might be worth the veteran $1m minimum. What caught my attention most in the article was this commentary about Thompson: I'm not trying to shift the focus of the thread, but it seems to imply that a factor in Thompson's decisions to sign free agents is whether it will cost him a potential compensatory pick. I really hope that it's a small factor. Despite the positive spin put on by Packers.com writer Mike Spofford (see link below), our compensatory picks haven't really had much impact during Thompson's era: [url]http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Compensatory-picks-have-proved-valuable-to-Packers/40fe0c8f-8c73-4876-9fb1-a3a1df77e6ae[/url] [/QUOTE]
