[QUOTE="porky88, post: 138114, member: 489"] I'm sorry but the reason to have money is not to sign big name guys. That's not how it works. You have to spend the money wisely to be successful in the NFL. You can't go out and spend on every big name player that comes across. Would it be nice to see a big name in Green and Gold next year? Certainly and it's still very likely that they do sign a big name player or acquire one via trade. However to over do it like your suggesting would lead to a path the Packers traveled during the Sherman era. The title of this thread is very misleading. Here we go again? As I recall last year Green Bay signed Charles Woodson and Ryan Pickett. I've disagreed with moves Ted Thompson has made in the past but Woodson was the best signing this decade for the Packers and Pickett paid great dividends as well. Woodson didn't sign until a few days before the Draft and Pickett several weeks after free agency started. Farther more the money we have in our cap can be used to keep some of our guys. In the last year the Packers have held onto Aaron Kampman, Donald Driver, Al Harris, Cullen Jenkins, and Scott Wells. If we go out and sign several big name players it could backfire and leave Green Bay with very little money and players such as those could get away. The Packers would likely lose guys like Corey Williams and Nick Barnett next year. Do you want that? I hope not as they've been huge for this team. By spending money on 2nd tier free agents whom fit the system and signing a big name every once in a while it allows the Packers to have much more flexibility year in and year out and it's much easier to keep your own guys such as the names above. There are still plenty of talent left on the market and Green Bay is in talks for Randy Moss and they've brought in Justin Griffith for a visit. You can’t denounce the franchise 5 days into the free agency period and this isn't baseball where you can buy a championship. In football you build one. [/QUOTE]
