i like the move to keep williams. this way it keep him on his toes, not like jenkins paid him big money and didnt have a good year. also there alot of TEs in the draft this year.

It is good that the TE position is well stocked in the draft, but I am just wondering if the Pack can wait that long with only one proven player at the position considering how close they are? Should we be looking longer term, or at this present window of opportunity?

I think this puts Fred Davis in play or a guy like John Carlson in round 2.

Cutting Bubba was probably the right move. Mixed feelings because had he not got hurt, I think he may of been a bigger factor this season. His play against Seattle where he stretched for the 1st down was fantastic in my opinion and I'd show it to any young player if you're talking about giving that extra effort.

Franchising Corey Williams kind of came out of no where. I was expecting he'd walk in free agency. To me this move indicates that maybe Jolley is not as healthy as we're hoping or maybe Harrell is not ready to be a starter. None the less I don't mind the move. 14 sacks in two years for a DT is great. I just hope Williams can continue that pace and stays healthy. 1 year thing isn't bad either.

ive got man love for john carlson, not so sure about Davis who is a TINO ( tight end in name only) and is basically a more skilled David Martin.

I like Davis for that reason. I think something the Packers are missing is a versatile TE that can line up as a receiver and do a lot of things. Davis, if he works out well might be worth a look cause I think he has that skill set.

We'll draft at least 1 TE and have 3 by game 1.

I like Bubba, but his better days are in the past. Thanks for all you've done, Bubba!

Keeping Corey was the right thing to do. Harrell may take another year to develop and until then, Corey is the proven deal. He'll get a fat paycheck next year on another team, but this year, he'll help us get our 4th Lombardi.
