[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 525718, member: 5535"] The problem with FA for the Packers is pretty obvious however, and we are all aware of it. The Packers have a ton of players coming up for contract, and if we went out and signed an impact-likely FA then it would be near impossible for us to keep not just one, but probably several important players on this team. Raji, Shields, Finley, TWilliams, JJones...how many of those guys are we willing to lose? Could we have offered Raji an 8 mil contract if we went after a FA? Maybe he isn't accepting it now but when the offseason comes around, he sure as hell might. What if we get TWilliams back on a much lower contract? I'd love to dip into FA, but jeez, most of the bigger names are FAs because they refused the offers they got from their teams and they're looking for a big payday. And getting FAs on the cheap often doesn't give you the player you want. Look at Jeff Saturday. His body was just too old and he didn't have it anymore. [/QUOTE]
