Free Agents you would like to see sign with Green Bay in 2019?

[OldSchool101]

How is Adams not a true number 1 ? He clearly is, I'm not sure what you mean by this?

I meant I want a second true #1 (as opposed to a imposter) Of course Adams is a true #1 he’s the second best player on this team.
The point I eluded to is that there is a sharp dropoff after Adams. We have a 3 and a bunch of 4s.

Adams is the last real effort at receiver through the draft (Or FA for that matter) and it’s going on 5 yeArs! What were we thinking it makes zero sense.

 

[OldSchool101]

I don't want the Packers to offer Matthews $5 million a season. If another team offers that kind of money I'm definitely OK with him moving on.

There’s absolutely zero chance Clay signs a contract well under that. That’s walking papers.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Was gonna put on the list, but I like Mathieu better at this point. He's younger and healthier. I have this inkling that next year Thomas is gonna demand crazy money even after having a bad leg (2 breaks in 12 months). If fully healthy, Thomas is a great fit.

Matthieu also had some injury issues in Arizona, so he also could be an injury bug concern.

I'm for making a play at a number of these pass rushers if their respective teams don't resign them including Clowney. I wonder if Detroit lets Ansah walk? Granted he's a 4-3 player, but I'd think Pettine (If kept) could put him in a Von Miller type of role.

Trade the Saints pick for AB lol

Draft class for safeties is pretty poor, so I hope we can bring in a FA. Draft class for edge is crazy stacked, on the other hand, so I'm a bit less concerned about that. Love to see a hardddd push for Earl Thomas.

I read that despite his injury, Thomas and his agent will be seeking Eric Berry type money.

Berry signed a six-year, $78 million contract containing $40 million in guarantees.

Now I doubt anyone will give Thomas a 6 year deal, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers have to pony up $12+ M/year to land him.

He is expected to come back just fine from his fractured left leg, but hitting 30 before the season starts and his flipping the Seahawks bench the bird while being carted off, might weigh on on some GM's decision.

 

[Green Bowl Packer]

Sign me up for Antonio Brown

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Sign me up for Antonio Brown

Love his talent, hate his attitude. I think I would pass based on what the Steelers would probably want to trade him and just having a guy that seems to put himself way ahead of his teammates isn't appealing to me.

I'd be alright with 3-4 years at 11-12 million. Eric Berry money is a little nuts though. Is he really worth almost 3 million per year more than Harrison Smith?

That is what I read. He wanted a new contract that reflected he was the top safety in the league before the 2018 season. Seahawks didn't budge, he played and got injured, thus the finger to the bench. Sounds like his demands and desires won't change much at all in 2019.

But hey, I would still get in those negotiations if I was Gute and have a ceiling. However, as we may have found out with Graham, signing a Free Agent at top dollar of his position, isn't always the best thing to do.

I would prefer the Packers to pursue a younger safety like Landon Collins.

I would prefer the Packers to pursue a younger safety like Landon Collins.

My preference would be Collins followed by Thomas of possible FAs, but I am assuming NYG bring him back.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

I would prefer the Packers to pursue a younger safety like Landon Collins.

Collins would be the biggest coup of them all, but I don't think he will be available. He has stated he wants to stay with the Giants and Vice Versa. He also said he would be fine playing under the franchise tag (around $11M), which is not very common to hear from many players.

Unfortunately I think both of you are right about Collins staying with the Giants. I would prefer signing Mathieu over Thomas as well though.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Collins is the kind of guy you dream of drafting, something the Packers really can't claim to have done very recently, except maybe for Kenny Clark and hopefully Alexander. Guys like Collins are going to be almost impossible to sign on their second contracts due to them meaning so much to their original team and vice versa in many cases, not to mention the money.

 

[OldSchool101]

No Cobb or Matthews is already included in that $30+ million cap space. If we restructure (extend) either, it cuts into that.

Good point. We’re screwed

 

[NorwegianPacker]

Would have been nice to get Collins and Earl Thomas both

Landon Collins is likely going to get tagged though.

I hope they stay far away from him. I like having Adams as the top dog. He is quiet and lets his play do the talking. He is a lot like Hopkins, Thomas and Green. He knows he is the #1, but doesn't constantly bark for the ball. This team doesn't need the drama that AB and OBJ bring. Media already eats Rodgers alive for his leadership. Packers don't need more reasons for everyone to question Rodgers ability to work through ambiguity. 2nd year MVS, ESB, Jimmy (with the Packers), 3rd year Aaron Jones and Jamaal. I have faith the offense can come together. I'd love for them to make a little splash at a pass rusher/disruption guy and add some CB depth.

But it is a sticky spot to be in because after year 2 if those players don't look like they're able to perform, wasted another year of Rodgers and closer to the end.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

I don't think there is any question that there is some uncertainty if the Packers are "good enough and deep enough" at WR. Cobb could be gone and even if signed, is a question mark himself. Allison and the 3 rookies plus Kumerow and Graham, what can you realistically expect? So what do the Packers do? Sit pat and roll the dice that they have enough weapons? Go out and trade for or sign a top FA WR or spend more draft picks on the position?

Gute probably has a good working knowledge of players, but I hope he is having all the current coaches fill out evaluations of players, before the eventual axe falls on most of these coaches being asked to do so. Tough spot for a coach, "I know I am probably gone, but I still need to give a good solid evaluation of the players I coached".

Until a new coaching Staff is hired, I am wondering just how much Gute and Murphy are feeling like they are currently "working alone".

Against those numbers, im happy to take Spain and Vacarro of their hands

The $ number is their current pay, I doubt that Vacarro comes that cheap. He was one of those FA Safeties last year that seemed go unsigned forever and the Titans signed him on a 1 year prove it deal. He was a guy I had hoped the Packers signed last year, so who knows, maybe this year?

Agreed, all though I dont see Vacarro getting too big of a raise with a lot of top safeties reaching FA this year

That's always a possibility.
The only ones I have heard of are Vaccaro and Palmer. I know we drafted Palmer but Vaccaro might be worth a look.
