[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 807802, member: 13032"] At the beginning of the year, I was resigned that this would be CMIII’s last year in Green and Gold. But watching him play this year, he is still a very athletic player. His days of rushing off the edge are over - hey, age gets us all. And while I don’t have stats, he seems to play best when he’s on the inside. If he’ll accept a salary of somewhere around $3 or $4 million, it would be cap friendly and allow us to keep a player who knows the system and probably still has two or three years left. Along with Martinez, that’s a decent ILB pair. Unfortunately, the Packers biggest problems on D aren’t ILB in my opinion. If they stay in a 4-3 defense, they need real OLBs, not converted DLs. Or maybe they change to a 3-4 defense, and get more production and inside pressure from their DLs. Kenny Clark has a lot of years left. Daniels production is declining, but he can still be a force. And I believe this draft is loaded with DLs. And there’s always FA. The DB group has settled down this year with Alexander, Jackson, Williams, and now Breeland. IF they can get a healthy King, the group will be fine. That’s a big IF. Still, they don’t have to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on a DB. When’s the last time we could say that? Safety is a huge problem. Probably best handled through FA, unless there’s a Derwin James type available in the draft. [/QUOTE]
