How often was he used out of backfield last year by NE?
Packers being in the conversation for Malik Jackson tells me they were probably looking to upgrade Mo Wilkerson, or that he may not be back and ready to practice as soon as they'd like.

42 rushing attempts last year for NE. I would love this signingâĶ
Significant upgrade over Trevor Davis (as both returner and WR).
#Packers are interested in bring back safety Ibraheim Campbell, an unrestricted free agent who played well after being claimed off waivers. Campbell is recovering from a torn ACL in Week 13 and would be ready to sign closer to training camp. Mike Pettine really likes him.

Andrew Sendejo is available. He was the pride of Minnesota, until he wasn't.
Grave Digger posted:As long as you're not counting on him to be your #1 receiver, he's a pretty good utility player. Definitely a return game upgrade.
#Packers mentioned as a team for Cordarrelle Patterson, which makes sense. HUGE upgrade in the return game. Can be a factor stretching the field, in the backfield, and in the screen game. Plus, won't be expensive. https://t.co/V5x1OSTlvH

As long as you don't throw him the ball downfield, he would add a lot. Minnesoduh wanted him to play WR and he sucked. NE used him as kind of an H-back/returner/screen guy, and he found his role. If Patterson is willing to block at all, now you have a dangerous screen set throwing it to MVS or Adams or Patterson. I can see a lot of different looks off that type of formation, especially inside the 20.
Lucas Patrick also will be tendered, Iâm told https://t.co/GWhO704EdY

Source: The #Vikings are not exercising the option on starting S Andrew Sendejo, making him a free agent. Another talented safety in the mix before free agency.

It's not like GB has a lot of options when it comes to the OL since the cupboard is already pretty bare. If any of them are jettisoned, the cupboard now has a hole in it.
Don't remember the team or player, But Patrick clobbered some guy who gave Rodgers a cheap shot last year. Guy deserves the tender just for that! 
Landon Collins just told me he will go to the #Skins.

Insert vomit emoji.
Sources: Former #Giants star S Landon Collins is signing a 6-year deal for a whopping $84M with the rival #Redskins. Hard to imagine a box safety with this kind of deal after last yearâs slow safety market. This moves the market dramatically.

Redskins are also throwing stupid money at Mosely. Damn Snyder....
LOL Redskins. Enjoy a guy who couldn't cover anyone last season.

I believe they are guaranteeing Collins at least $45 million (per WFAN-660 NYC). Clinton-Dix could only dream.
Trey Flowers to Detroit.
I like Collins but not for that kind of stupid money. Synder's an idiot

Agreed, stupid money, but I was hoping the range for a safety would stay reasonable. It just skews it for what's remaining. Oh well, that's how it works.
Like dominoes now...

Snyder is a complete idiot who has way too much money.
Also, it's quite obvious most players only care about "gettin paid" & not actually winning. Redskins QB situation is a complete joke & don't tell me "But Boris....they just traded for Case Keenum." 
If Snyder gives Moseley $20 Mill per - Silly season is obviously in full swing.
Seems like every year it's the same teams that blow up FA on the first day. Outside of the Pats, They end up watching the playoffs from home.
Surprised no "Bell Rumors" yet.

Don't look now but the Skins just grabbed Landon Collins, too. 6years? $84 million per Ian Rapport.

Gipson is a great option. Nothing wrong with getting mid tier guys either.

The #Packers had talks with recently released #Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson, but it appears he will be signing elsewhere, a source said. Unclear if the price got too high or he had a preferred team. #Packers were interested in meeting with him, but it didn't happen.

The Snyders of the league are the ones who have whored up the cost of tags, and why teams have to pay mediocre QBs $30+M per season.
Another silent killer of the league. It's not a sustainable business model in the long term.
JMHO, others may vary.
Gipson was a Pro-Bowler last time he player for Pettine.
As said the other day, he would be a very nice add.
Fandame posted:Yeah, the Brown trade is cap hades for Pitt this coming year, but after that they automatically free up $21 million from Brown, plus this year is the last big hit for Big Ben at $23 million. They want to extend Benâmaybeâand would make it cap-friendly. But with Brown gone, I could see Pitt letting Ben play out the year, him retiring, and Pitt starting over with an awful lot of cap space. No Brown, Bell getting out, Ben is 37... time to reset.
Nice take.
I wouldn't be surprised if Pittsburgh goes through a transition like the Packers just did in the next year or two. Coaching staff, front office reorganization, etc.
Lots more money being thrown around:
The #Jaguars had Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles as their top target. Per
he gets 4 years and $88M. Large.I
The Jacksonville Jaguars added a new leader under center when they reportedly signed quarterback Nick Foles on Monday.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the agreement. Adam Schefter of ESPN added that Foles will receive $50.125 million in guaranteed money, with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network noting Foles' deal has a max value of $102 million.
Blake Bortles is expected to be released by the Jaguars after the deal is official, per Rapoport, who said it "will be a few days" before the quarterback is out in Jacksonville.
DeSean Jackson traded back to Philly.

DJ Metcalf - As soon as he ran 4.4 - I immediately thought - He's a Lion pick. Lions or Bills.

No Collins... pretty sure no Thomas... no Mosely... No Gipson.
This is a splendid beginning.
Let me be clear... I understand thereâs many, many more FA players out there that can help. Iâm not advocating that GB should be spending stupid money, however, lets not piss away ARâs last few quality years by pinching pennies and dicking around with mediocre BS.

Adam Humphries slot receiver signs with Ten Titans
So apparently Earl Thomas wants 14 million a season. I think thereâs mutual interest between him and Dallas. According to NFLN, Dallas wants to pay in the 8-10 million range. I suggest GB make a move here but we know how that shit will end up.
If Jimmy Graham is worth 30 million with all the tread and injuries he had, I am not sure why Earl would not be worth the money. I have a feeling the 49ers are going to get him tho.
Hard to justify that kind of money on a guy with not one but two leg issues.
Pass
Yes, by all means, let's go out and buy a set of 24" spinning rims on Day 1 of FA.

Thatâs how weâve become fat as a society. And I donât mean with ph
Landon Collins...6 years, $84M. That's a lot of coin. I'd rather Spend $45M for 3 years on Earl Thomas, while older, is a far more complete safety.
I like your rims sir.
Does Sheldon Richardson do anything for you at the right price?
Iâd say DL and maybe CB are the few positions GB is good at. Richardson would be a nice addition to put in the rotation.
Major upgrades could be had at RB, OL, S and LB in FA.
Boris posted:Foles gets $50 Million guaranteed - Hey Blake Bortles is on the market
This is the guy I want. Should come cheap and has a crap ton of arm talent. He had no business starting right away and the coaching staff in Jacksonville was stupid for doing so. Nice low-cost/potentially high-reward flier. He'll need his lower-body mechanics overhauled but why not?
Don't get me wrong, I want a couple of decent starters or solid contributors, but there's very little risk in picking up a project for pennies.
Iâm just thinking how much Petitine likes the big interior guys vs outside. Get him in the rotation at a fair deal and would be an upgrade over Mo? Iâm already looking 2nd Tier guys. Not a bad thing. League shows thatâs how you build. Maybe a smaller splash vs the High-Dive cannonball attention whores. Will be interesting to see how Detroit situation plays out next year. They spent a shitload of cash today.

In a QB hungry league some desperate team will sign him to start IMO
Was hoping for a OLB signing like Preston Smith, but sounds like he has several teams calling....would be happy with Z'Darius Smith as a fall back. Then get a guy like Tre Boston if the other safeties are demanding too much coin. Underrated.

GB has some young talent there... Not saying theyâre set, but there are other places on roster where thereâs much less talent.

It's splendid. That's my new word for the week.

Would you take white walls rather than rims?
I searched who the Packers have tendered this year and this was the first result...
âI know people sometimes pound their meat. I never do, and I am interested in what I am missing out on. Basically it comes down to a three part question:
Why is meat pounded, what is the result that one wants? I'd be happy to learn both the gastronomical purpose, and what really happens to the meat (fibres etc)
What types of meat should I pound? What types would possibly be a bad idea to pound?
What should I think of when pounding to get a good result?â

CB is the most important position on defense, you can never have enough good ones.
And we dont even have enough average ones.
the $ spent only to be lost is staggering. guys getting cut, dead money - wow. I know it's not my money, but packers run more like a business than most, that is crazy talk - did I read 6 yr 84mill for collins...wtlf is going on here?

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.
https://www.bloggingtheboys.co...-on-contract-numbers
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.

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
Iâd be elated if they got Thomas. Worth the risk in my opinion.

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.
â Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 12, 2019
that is sick money for an inside linebacker.
michiganjoe posted: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.
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.
