Major OFFENSIVE player a Packer?

[longtimefan]

I wouldn't bank on this happening. We have between 10-11 million in cap space and nearly half of that is going to be taken up by the rookies. So we have about 5 million remaining.

I have posted this guys before, and he is pretty accurate

He claims we have $15 mill

Yea he probably knows more than the chumps over at the Press-Gazette newspaper.

I dont think half goes to rookies, and depending on the amount of picks the NFL sets the amount, or something very close to setting it for the team

I doubt that they land anyone. Maybe he meant Kennan McCardell but don't expect a superstar. It just isn't happening.

I got my fingers crossed

Re: New Offensive player to be added?

Not to bad, he's no Antonio Gates, but he could replace David Martin.

He could replace Bubba Franks.

I could replace Bubba Franks.

Yeah!!! Don't you dare step on my thread! I don't get to start many of them, you know.

I've read from several sources it's near the 5 million range. I'm not sure on this though. I've put my faith in sources numbers before and was wrong. Thanks Andrew Brandt for going on TheFan and proving numbers mean squat!

Truth be told. That thread was started AFTER this one so if there's a comment to be made about duplication of threadage. It should be in the one linked, not this one here.

You are correct..I thought the date was SUNDAY on this post, so sorry for the confusion

That's why we have a mod team at PF.com ... err they prolly on vacation lol

Koonce was playing when Culpepper was a major player, right??? :thumbsup:

Culpepper was never a major player.

Hi Rob:

I do think TT has the Pack heading in the right direction and I try not to second guess but with $14-15 of cap space available and I think only about $6 million needed to sign rookies what has he been saving it for? It doesn't seem likely any players with value are yet to be cut and other than maybe DT Corey Williams no current player is deserving of an extension...I understand his distaste for overspending on any player but hard to believe there wasn't anyone out there this off season (especially a TE) that we could have used....what do you think?

Thanks --- John of Scandia, MN

ROB DEMOVSKY: John, we'll start with you. Last time I checked, the Packers had about $10 or $11 million in salary cap space available. Their rookie salary pool is $4.907 million, so that will leave them with about $5 or $6 million of cap space, which isn't really a ton. Considering they look to do an in-season contract extension or two, that should about take up most of their space. Basically, my point is they don't have as much unused salary cap space as you might think.

Last time he checked. Who knows when that was!

 

[retiredgrampa]

I'm not so sure Koonce had any inside info, but if nothing else we had another subject to use up our time on. Every year the off-season gets longer.

OK, now get THIS. Same newspaper, different writer.

Outgoing insider? Koonce causes a stir
If George Koonce's nose is right, the Packers offense might get an upgrade yet.

Koonce, who recently resigned his position as the Packers' director of player development to accept a job with Marquette University, has caused a stir on blogs and Internet message boards with his remarks to a Milwaukee radio station Friday.

At the end of an interview on the Gary and Cliff Show on WSSP (AM-1250), Koonce said "the offseason's not over with quite yet, so don't be surprised if ... a big name (comes) in before training camp."

Pressed by the hosts for more information, Koonce refused to provide a name but said he was talking about an offensive player.

"I'm not going to spill the beans," Koonce said, "but ... I sniffed around a little bit before I left."

Considering the Packers' much-discussed failure to land Randy Moss and countless other rumors that have come and gone, this could be one more letdown for fans frustrated by the team's inactivity in free agency. But with about $10 million of salary-cap space (after the rookie pool is spent) and more than a month until training camp, General Manager Ted Thompson has plenty of time and flexibility to augment the roster -- if someone's available at the right price.

Koonce could not be reached Monday afternoon.

Ricky Williams.

LAWL.

 

[paxvogel]

My guesses are
1. Corey Dillon
2. Eric Moulds
3. Chris Brown

 

[Woodson_fan]

It just does not seem as though Dillon or Moulds could be classified as MAJOR offensive players anymore.

What the hell have you not paid attention to this off season? any offensive player is a 'major' player for us now. sure as hell beats the no one we have signed thus far!!!!

 

[vikesrule]

OK....OK, I'm going to settle this right now!

I find ALL Packers players marjorly offensive! :razz:

This is not 'Nam, this is football. There are rules. Mark it zero! Do you think I'm ** with you? Has the whole world gone CRAZY?! Mark it ** zero!......... it's a league game Smokey.

No Zero, you have your numbers wrong. After setting aside the rookie pool (all they are allowed to use for signing their rookies) the Packers still have just over $10 million in available CAP space.

Check your numbers -- I am quite confident mine are correct.

 

[Gameth]

Can I have Betts please?

 

[Yared-Yam]

Can I have Betts please?

Betts is awful. Let's get LaMount Jordon while we're at it.

 

[Gameth]

Betts is awful. Let's get LaMount Jordon while we're at it.

Sorry, you're right. 1600 yds on what accounts for about 10 games worth of touches is awful. We are much stronger at Rb than that!

Dont tell me, you were one of the guys who wanted Moss right?

Or is it L. Johnson we are getting? Don't tell me Betts would not help out.

L. Jordan will have a better season this year also. He should atleast.

 

[tromadz]

I like this guys attitude. He's sassy.

I'm watching you, Gameth. You can be my protege.

 

[Woodson_fan]

I like the looks of Morency a lot better than Dillon, Morency has built up a lot and is fairly young, and Dillon would have to come out of RETIREMENT, just incase you have not been paying attention.

First of all Bruce Almighty, I do not have numbers.
Second, they are not YOUR numbers. You did not calculate every single nickel and dime the Packers spent against the CAP

Third, take the time to read the rest of the posts before you go on being a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!!. (fill in the blanks, can be a nice word, nice phrase or a bad word or bad phrase-be creative)

Last but not least. As proven by your post you lack the ability to be thorough and I will quote MYSELF where I posted the sources and their conflicting numbers.
