[QUOTE="Upper Dorsimus, post: 502805, member: 8975"] Hello Packer forum, IMO, it'll be interesting only if Bishop can actually recover from his injury, otherwise it's much ado. When you consider the severity of the injury and the historic success of a comeback, I think the Pack did the right thing to cut bait, considering they were on the hook for over $3mil. On the subject of Packer free agents or lack thereof and winning: Other than being key pieces on the 96 Superbowl team who can guess what these guys also have in common? : [I]Sean Jones, Santana Dotson, Mike Prior, Don Beebe, Desmond Howard and Reggie White[/I] They were all free agents signed by Wolf in the run up to that 96 Superbowl. All told, that’s three-quarters of the defensive line, plus a solid special-teamer, a polished veteran receiver and the Super Bowl MVP. These guys were also part of the same forays into free agency: Mark Clayton , Reggie Cobb, Guy McIntyre and Fred Strickland...but none of them lasted long enough to be part of that 96 championship. As someone else noted, the 2010 (TT) team had a couple of free agent starters too in Woodson and Pickett, and both also provided veteran leadership, while free agents Adrian Klemm and Marquand Manuel signed in 05' and 06', only lasted a year each. Brandon Chillar was a solid guy too, but he was on IR when they won it all. Then lats season, Jeff Saturday, who was essentially a stop gap and was on the bench before the season ended. The list for Mike Sherman's FA signings is less successful....but the point is, everyone uses free agency to one degree or another. To fill holes until you can draft for the position or to add depth and vet leadership where the young guys are learning the ropes. Some teams put a lot of their eggs in the FA basket rather than being patient and letting picks develop in the system. I don't see the Packers or the Vikings doing that currently. I see the rivalry just getting better and better going forward. 2 cents [/QUOTE]
