Z'Darious Smith has started 59 out of 64 possible games. He also had 60 QB pressures and 25 QB hurries. He and Preston Smith have a major difference when it comes to Perry.
They show up to play.
vikings G Nick Easton signed with the saints. I heard he took less money to do so......
This leaves the vikings with 1 guard under contract, the rock solid Danny Isidora.

That's gotta be Fake News! Everyone knows no one signs for less unless they are signing with the Queens. Everyone wants to be there!
Vicks should have a good shot at Cody Ford in R1.

Here's a mock that has us taking him.

Damn... Ford, Risner and Rapp. Tough to argue with that.
Sucks to be Minnesota. I'm sure there will be a sweet QB upgrade sitting there for them.
Dora the Explorer is going is going to be in the trenches for purple & gold?
Nice.
S Curtis Riley, who started every game for the Giants last season, visited the Packers today, per source. He snagged 4 interceptions last season.

#Giants free agent safety Curtis Riley left his #Packers visit without a contract and the two sides aren't negotiating a deal. Appears both sides will seek other options for now.

Packers make error in cap space
If true no more FA I would think
Ugh. Checking the numbers, the only salary that stands out as potential dead weight is Tramon Williams. Cutting him would free up about $4 million.
Just saying. 36 years old. Has to be his last year. I’d bet they’ll be looking real hard at his potential replacement in camp.

DWIGHT SCHRUTE EVERYBODY!
How much more in-f'in-ept does Murphy have to be before he is shit canned? Really killing it there ol' Murph. Good thing you kept Vice President of Jockstrap Acquisition and Implementation on staff!
Pretty much done with FA. Didn't need Breeland anyways. Who needs solid depth and rotation with Clay?
I don't know that I'd go off yet, Henry.
It makes little sense to me; the Packers have managed the salary cap very well since it began and it's hard to imagine a $20M-$30M "miscalculation".
Also, who 'discovered' this? Was the team notified by the league, or was it strictly in-house? Unless a "source" has paperwork related to either, it's dubious.
If it turns out to have any truth, I'll hold Murphy for you while you drop-kick him right square in the nuts.
Whoever is responsible, be it the NFL or the Packers, is already affecting the FA period. Breeland is signed. They walked away from a safety prospect. They can't approach anyone when this would be a great time for mid tier guys to help with depth. You discover a cap error in the middle of FA?! WTF!
The article says it could be the media who had it wrong, not the Packers.
He's not off. He knows exactly how much space they have. Our information isn't in real-time and isn't what the league calculates. It's based on info from the player's union and it's not necessarily up to date. https://t.co/j68ylXmkA3

This feels so Viking-like.
Well....the Pack did steal their March/April Championship trophy this year.
For the tinfoil-hat crowd: Russ Ball po'd at not being named GM.
If Ball/Murphy miscalculated the cap, they both need to be shown the door.....like yesterday.
So Silverstein saying "I'm starting to hear" means someone has to be incompetent?
I find it difficult to believe that GB would F the cap up. The salary structures are so vital to any professional team that you would have to be woefully incompetent to accomplish that.
The media was guesstimating the cap based on available information and got it wrong. No evidence or indication the Packers screwed up.
I guess nothing should surprise us anymore.

Congrats, perfect gremlin for Russ Ball, very round.

1) Breeland, which would have appeared to be the easiest and most logical signing walks for a 1 year contract with KC.
2) Packers and Giants safety basically just completely walk away from negotiations
3) The fact this story, even if it isn't entirely correct, shouldn't even arise in the middle of FA. It just seems weird that real time reporting would become an issue this year when the Packers hit FA hard. Maybe Silverstein is out of practice. Maybe Dwight is out of practice.
ILB Jake Ryan, coming off a torn ACL on July 30, received $8 million over two years from #Jaguars to depart #Packers. Just $1M guaranteed. Also up to $1.75M per year in play-time incentives.

Silvy went back and checked the numbers. Shouldn’t you double check the numbers BEFORE you put a story out there? Sounds like someone from the Packers called and told him he was a ****ing idiot and he ****ed up his math.
So, in double-checking cap numbers with people who know, the #Packers were $13M under as of yesterday. Remove about $5M for their draft picks and they're $8M under, not $5M as some have been led to believe. But do they have $$ reserved for someone else? Maybe Matthews? A safety?.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) March 19, 2019
So they had ~$36M before the offseason, allocated roughly $23M to new FA additions and have $13M left...the facts everyone has been working under the entire time. Silvy thought he was breaking a huge story, turns out he just didn’t carry the 3 when he was “checking the numbers”.
Idot.
It might be a good idea to do some double checking before you tweet out some potentially really bad news. Freaking IDOT
I wonder if Ibrahim Campbell will not be ready for training camp if the Packers have not yet re-signed him? That the Packers were looking at a lower tier FA safety from the Giants seems to speak to that. Right now it is Tramon, Raven Greene and Amos and J.Jones as kind of a safety/LB hybrid role. It probably is best to move Tramon back to CB, spend a draft pick at the safety spot and roll with a competition in TC for the spot opposite Amos.
Mea Culpa Dwight. You're off the hook for today but I'm watching you.
Tom’s a Milwaukee Riverside graduate....ie the North Dakota State of the City Conference.
Give Silvy some credit.....he hasn't had to worry about the Pack potentially being over the cap for about a decade during free agency.
Usually the reporters all take vacation during the first week of FA because they know the Pack won't do anything.....
It's a fresh new day at 1265.
and no apologies or nothing...oh well. we get - turns out my #'s were bs...oh well...hey anyways, look at the little birdie over there...
Finally some fake news that is FAKE. At least it was corrected.
Boris posted:Give Silvy some credit.....he hasn't had to worry about the Pack potentially being over the cap for about a decade during free agency.
Still, with 13 Million remaining, I don't expect them to do anything else. After the 5 that goes to the draft, that leaves 8 for emergency in season pick ups and possibly extending guys like Clark or Daniels.
