2018 (or is it 2019?) Free Agency Moves/Trades/Releases

Read an article this morning about under the radar FAs.  Mentioned guys like S Tre Boston and WR Tyrell Williams.  Also mentioned draft washouts like LB Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett from Denver.  Not big on those kinds of moves but Randall just proved reclamations can work (unreal).  

I like the idea of Tre Boston.   I think the ideal strategy for FA is not even messing with big names and aggressively going after mid-tier guys for multiple positions.  I think at this point just having competent starters/rotation would go a long way with the real talent already on the team.  If Lane Taylor (questionable now) can succeed between Linsley and Bak, think what a guy that was actually drafted and has contributed regularly can do.

Antonio Brown wants to be traded.  I wonder what it would take to get him?   Package with one of our first round picks plus two more picks?   Or, is it too much to give up because we have too many holes to fill?  

From what I've read, Antonio wants to play in San Francisco.

Too many holes and a locker room problem. Did you see what Ryan Clark said about him? When Clark was Brown's teammate, he told guys that as soon as Brown was paid, he would become a major diva. He also said that Brown would go Facebook Live when coaches were talking, etc. Not a guy you want when you are, in essence, rebuilding/restructuring/reigniting your team. 

I love the guys talent but I don't think the Packers should spend the picks to get a locker room cancer.  They just have too many holes to fill.

Antonio Brown is a major cancer.  No talent is worth that.  

If Garapallo can stay on the field, that team could be ready to light it up.  Especially if you add AB and now another draft at the top of the order.

Aske if Antonio Brown quit on the Steelers, Mike Tomlin said "you can call it what you want to call it"

Fez Bryant 2.0

AB is leagues better than Bryant was when DAL cut him.  AB may still be the best WR in the league.

I disagree

Quite frankly Goalline, I'm surprised at you.

That girl got no ass.

If GB went after AB, he would be great with Rodgers, for a while, and Zimmer would get a burned out WR with an attitude in 3-5 years when GB releases AB.

AB is a supremely talented receiver,  but Devante Adams has already stated he feels disrespected across the league and being supplanted as the number one wr in GB might ruin the great chemistry he has with Rodgers and lead to regression.   Considering all the other holes this team needs to fill, I'm fine with Adams as the number one, but would consider adding a lower price, lower profile #2.

I failed to mention going after CJ Moseley too in my previous post.

Just a thought.  Shouldn't we have a "2019 Free Agency Moves/Trades/Releases" thread?

Devante wouldn’t be supplanted as the number one receiver. AB would come in as number two, and it wouldn’t be long before he pitched a fit over it. 

Then AR would stop throwing the ball to him altogether and next thing you know ESPN would end up on AB’s driveway watching him pump iron while talking sh!t about the Packers. 

Let him go to San Francisco. Diva WRs don’t win Super Bowls. 

AB is a cancer, let some other team pay him to melt down.
