Yeah hes a slight upgrade lets hope we meet with him worth the risk.

He is definitely more athletic and has some REALLY LONG arms...I would be very intrigued to see what kind of impact he may have...maybe he just needs a D like ours to flourish, he is not gonna be that much money and still pretty young at 28

Lawson seems to be looking at Oakland.
I'd love to land the guy, but don't expect to.

Still holding out hope that Teddy is trying to send something to the Colts for my man Huuuuuughes.

Colts are more likely to trade Freeney according to rumors. Hughes might get a new chance to see what he can do in a 3-4 if Pagano is indeed switching over in Indy. Hughes is cheap and young and might fit with the rebuild.

Hughes also might just be a bust too, time will tell. It will be his last shot.

Maybe in Indy, but if they part with him, he will get another shot for sure.
Even James Harrison got more shots than that, with Pittsburgh, then Baltimore, then Pitt again....someone as talented as Hughes will be given looks by a few other teams, should it come to that.
Let's speed up the process and get him in Green & Gold now dammit.

Frank, I am just wondering if you like this Hughes guy. Don't be shy now with your opinion.

Nevermind what I said last night. Looks like Freeney will not be traded. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...y-dwight-freeney-will-remain-in-indianapolis/

The Hughes to Packers dream lives on.

Is there evidence the Packers are going after Hughes or is this speculation? I liked him coming out of college...haven't heard anything about him.

 

[Bagadeez04]

I was hoping we could sign Wimbley, but his production the past few years hasn't matched the money the Titans gave him.

The same exact thing could be said for the Hawk contract too except x10.

Nothing other than me sending Teddy 2 things in the mail telling him to go get be some Huuuuughes.

I think I am due again........ day off Wed. Will fire something his way again.

Lawson is resigning with the Bengals.

 

[13 Times Champs]

Hope he enjoys life in purgatory.

 

[Bagadeez04]

Ah well, wasn't gonna help the pass rush anyways.

 

[warhawk]

Personally I would rather have a 3 down OLB over there than something like a Lawson/Perry combination. One good against the run and in pass defense and one good rushing the passer.

Ted has gotten a few fortunate bounces in the 1st round. Maybe Hightower will get left out and be standing around when we pick.
