[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 495808"] Until somebody writes their memoir we'll never know if TT just kicked tires with Jackson and Canty, low balled them, they had no intention of coming to Green Bay or some combination of the above. The failed Canty physical is suspect...Baltimore's docs had no problem. Those medical exams are often not black and white anyway...it's a risk/reward decision, as much about money and football as medicine. The point being, TT looked at Canty and Jackson for FA or trade 4 years ago, now again. Couldn't a few more names be added to the "interesting" list? Your point 3. mentions the Packer way, but the fact of the matter is the Pack [I][B]does[/B][/I] sign vet camp bodies, so I'm unclear on your point. This is typical throughout the league; teams hope to find a guy or two with some worth who can stick on the 53. Cases in point: Mulligan and the FA kicker, and Jolly for that matter. There will likely be a few more. These vet bodies are also good to have around for positions with thin depth in case somebody gets hurt before opening day. A vet with an iffy resume is often better than one more rookie who's not ready to play. With regard to point 4. (the Muir, Merling, Hargrove, Mulligan types), those contracts are not guaranteed. If they make it to opening day, they make it. A judgement will have been made about their value relative to salary. If somebody else in the locker room has a problem with what that guy is payed, that's his problem. If you were going to worry about that stuff, you might as well worry about how the Pack let Crabtree go and then signed Mulligan to save $300,000. What message does that send to the bottom of the roster? This issue should be a non-starter. [/QUOTE]
