Jaire Alexander. That’s it.
No. King can play if he is healthy and Jackson is heading into year two. GB has some good young talent there. Now they just have to pan out.

It's been a splendid silly season so far.
I'm expecting Packers to find some value style FA's & not engage in over-spending for less value. (Like the Redskins)
Let's see what happens on Wednesday.

If we can get ET for $14M we need to pull that trigger! Especially since Jerruh is lowballing him.

King? He's played 15 games in two seasons.
Why ya gotta have 46” rims with spinners and glitter?
Would the Pack pay $12 million for ET?
That might get it done & sounds like a fair deal for both sides.
Seems like crazy money for safties
I’d be elated if they got Thomas. Worth the risk in my opinion.

Unless you don’t have any.

Why not? They paid $10 million for a broken down tight end.
Per Adam Schefter, Jets will be signing Anthony Barr.
Don't players usually go from the Jets to the vikings?
Really glad Gute is taking a measured approach. My guess is when looking back only about 20% of these first-day high-money moves will look good.
Former Ravens LB CJ Mosley intends to sign a 5-year, $85 million deal with the Jets, as @RapSheet said. Jets land Anthony Barr and Mosley.

that is sick money for an inside linebacker.

They really need a bit more quantity of solid, reliable players than super stars at this point. Need to find super stars in the draft plain and simple.
Guys like Gipson sure would've been nice but it's crazy how the first couple of days just pushes these guys beyond reach contract wise.
The last 2 days are like fantasy football. According to Over The Cap Washington only had $9.9 million in cap space. How will they fit these new contracts in without gutting a good portion of the rest of the roster?
Draft and develop is a splendid approach when you have a 35 year old QB with a few years left.
Nobody is saying purely draft and develop. They need a lot of bodies and there are capable players out there. Find your Ryan Picketts' and plug them in with high draft picks. We've seen young guys produce big time, more than enough to win a Super Bowl.
Just because I’m a glass half full type of guy, we are setting ourselves up nicely to draft the Clemson QB #1 overall in two years.

Same here. Spending like a drunken sailor in free agency right off the start has not always been the way to win (Look at Daniel Snyderbrenners track record). Gute is taking the smart approach by not getting sucked in to cap crippling contracts. I think we need to sit back and watch him work and he will sign players that he thinks fits the system for cap friendly deals.
the fa talent this year though does not reflect the insane $ they are getting. the top notch talent get tagged. so if you take them off the tag, then you pay big$ but you have a better chance of getting a game changer. only time this happened recently, like in a while, is mack last year and they had to pay, but the guy is a game wrecker. brown and bell, those guys ... are headcases, talented but will flame out or take the team down with them. the other guys were all average to above (a little) - but Barr is not worth that $, collins not worth that $, mosely not worth that $...Foles maybe but only because of his position and he has hardware. i guess it s draft and low-mid level fa guys for gb...seems like we are used as pawns for these guys to improve their own contracts with other teams.
Not official but it sounds like the Packers may be going after Za'Darius Smith (OLB, Ravens)
And he's only 26....
The #Packers aren’t done: They are also signing #Bears S Adrian Amos, sources say. Two big deals, two huge additions on D. A former rival comes to Green Bay.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 12, 2019
As I hinted yesterday, the Packers are signing Amos.

Like it. Cut Perry now.
That is excellent. Amos sure wan't on the radar.
Mr. Glass Half Full, your comments?
Funny how moods change.
YATittle posted:Like it. Cut Perry now.
I agree and would be very happy to see it. Please correct me if I am wrong but if they cut him don't they take on something like 10 to 12 Milion in dead cap money?

Dwight Schrute at his finest.
In their last three years, their major March signings can be broken down into seven bad signings and six good ones. While that number seems tenable, most of the bad deals were far more expensive than the good ones. For example, they paid out $47.725 million in guaranteed money in the deals that were deemed bad and just $8.625 million on the good ones.
While Ball remains the Packers’ contract negotiator, it’s clear that Gutekunst and his staff have wrestled away control of the decisions
If Perry would restructure I'd have no issues keeping him around. That's a good rotation.
I always knew Gute wouldn’t let me down

Let's see him cheap shot Brady, this season.

I always love this kind of stuff: take from the Bears, add to the Pack.
Henry posted:If Perry would restructure I'd have no issues keeping him around.
Preferably with a contract heavy with incentives.
Absolutely. Seems the carrot keeps him healthy.
Yay! Pack signs z'daruius Smith!!
It needs it's own thread .
And Amos, a reliable cover safety. I wonder if Josh Jones can actually progress and be a thumper safety.
