[QUOTE="TJV, post: 491743, member: 4300"] [FONT=Arial]I understand and agree with Thompson's aversion to participate in the bidding wars that occur at the beginning of the UFA period. But I do think Thompson should sign a UFA or two because there is a glut of them on the market. Today on Mike & Mike, Greenberg said this year's salary cap, even with the slight increase, is less than it was in 2009. The consequences of that include a glut of vets waived for cap reasons. That glut means there will likely be some UFAs who won't get the kind of offer they think they're worth. When supply increases and demand remains constant (same number of players per roster), the cost should come down. Last off season, the Packers signed Saturday, Benson, Hargrove, Muir, and Merling. Obviously Thompson's top priority is retaining Rodgers and Matthews long-term. But there should be some cash and cap space for a couple of UFA signings and this season some should be available at bargain prices. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
