Amen to that. Donald was great today, the only one. ONLY one.Finley is gone and I don't see Driver making the team (although he was the only reliable playmaker today).
Robert Mathis is a name I have heard more than once.Can they afford a FA pass rusher? Mario Williams is a FA. Unless the Texans keep him. Robert Mathis is a FA from the Colts too. Might work in a 3-4.

From here or somewhere else? Mathis implied not long ago he may want to play for a 3-4 team actually. He is used to being on the other side of a super star too and the dude is a forced fumble machine. I don't think he can be "the man" on a team as a lead pass rusher but opposite Clay he could be excellent.
Not sure if the Colts can keep him.
Another article talking about Packers free agency I saw his name mentioned.From here or somewhere else? Mathis implied not long ago he may want to play for a 3-4 team actually.

Cut J-Mike or bench that prima donna more often. A lot more often. Like have him play only one to two snaps per game. Any more than that and he is poison.Yeah, like last year.
We lost Jenkins, Poppinga, Swain, Colledge, Justin Harrell, a few others.
It will happen this year too.
We gotta cash in Flynn for a legit talent via a high draft pick, and if that means losing J-Mike, so beit. He won't get that giant contract from us.
Maybe someone else, but not us.
Keep him if it's for a decent TE salary, not a Vernon Davis/Rob Gronkowski/Jimmy Graham/Antonio Gates diffrence-maker TE.
He had 17 chances.Capers is a mixed bag. We had one hell of a defense a couple seasons back. I can't say that he is the only one to blame. Wouldn't mind seeing him stick around IF he can turn this defense back around.
He didn't blitz or pressure the QB more often.Do people really want Capers gone after this season?
We also won a Super Bowl with the man, and our defense was #1 in 2009 IIRC
Honestly, I'd be surprised if Dom Capers leaves.
The 2009 D was great except when they faced top quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner. Those guys would just abuse Jarrett Bush and that other CB we used when Al Harris went down.
The 2010 D played well. They weren't a dominant D like San Francisco, but they were good.
The 2011 D didn't have any good pass rushers on the defensive line. They really need more speed at linebacker. The defense doesn't make tackles and they don't put themselves in position to gang tackle. The thing that irked me the most was that some players just looked so undisciplined and foolish out there, primarily Erik Walden and Charlie Peprah. Charles Woodson is also getting older and I think the loss of Nick Collins effected what he did on the field. I think they should just move him to safety next season if Collins doesn't return and find some slot cornerbacks.
And let's not forget that we're probably going to lose a number of coaches anyway this offseason. I think Thompson will want to minimize the losses in the coaching staff.
I'm expecting a 2012 draft that is full of defensive picks with maybe an offensive lineman. They'll probably get an undrafted free agent QB for the practice squad.
