Jeff Janis is definitely white. So is Geronimo Allison.

Geronimo is a white name now? Damn cultural appropriation.
@TomSilverstein: #Packers continue to talk with WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling in hopes of re-signing him, and a deal could come this weekend. MVS had other offers before GB jumped in, so he has options. There’s a starting position waiting for him in GB though.
@GBFanForLife posted:Why would he be a starter?
I would hope he needs to earn it
Ian Raapoport said Rasul Douglas has agreed to a three year deal with the Packers.
Packer News says he got $21 million over three years with incentives that could kick it up to $25.5 million.
More details on Rasul:
@RapSheet: Sources: The #Packers have agreed to terms with veteran DB Rasul Douglas, giving him a 3-year deal. He cashes in on his playmaking season.
He gets a 3 year deal worth $21M, up to $25.5M max. After being on
Panthers, Raiders, Texans, Cardinals then Packers (for 78 days) he gets paid.
A great series of his highlights from this year.

Alright! Now we are cooking with fire.
By the way, that sure looks like a fumble from Auyk of the Niners on the last highlight. Has ball, turns upfield in a football move, then Douglas slaps it out.

Excellent news re Rasul.
Love seeing an underdog take advantage of his opportunity and cashing in for the Green & Gold.
Packers have not had 3 CBs this good since ... 2010?
Hope this means the end of King & Sullivan in GB.
Would not hate seeing Mercilus added on a cheap deal as a 3rd OLB and then another addition in rounds 1-2.
If Gute could somehow strike Gold with a defensive lineman like he did with Stokes last year we might finally be able to make Lowry a backup and end Lancaster's time with the team.
The 2022 defense could definitely be the most talented Packer D, at least on paper, since the last SB appearance.

The thing about Rasul is that he seems like he's about a yard or so out of position and then he comes back and closes and makes the play. It's almost like he baits the QB into going to his WR and then takes it away with timing and smarts. I like the way he watches the QB at all times as well.
I like how he said he wanted to sign and it wouldn't take much.
I'm glad he's in a system that knows how to use him and he's cashing in after years of nibbling at the edges.

Same thing Woodson used to do.
Count me in the Whitney Mercilus camp...I really like what he brings to the table.
@TomSilverstein: #Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with TE Robert Tonyan. Includes a voidable year.
Tonyan is recovering from a torn ACL and will need time to get back on the field, but he should be back for second half of the season. New deal will allow him to be a free agent again next year, source said.
Dream from Heaven.
Loved how he came in and took care of business.
It’s a really good insurance policy if they somehow can’t extend Jaire. He’s going to command huge dollars but good news is assuming they stay healthy their top 3 corners are about as good as any unit in the NFC. Probably also means they don’t need to take a corner early in the draft but focus on a DL or pass rusher or WR.
Did we sign all the wide receivers yet or is the season over?

I really like Tonyan (sort of like Rasul good to see the underdog do well).
That said, he suffered an ACL in November and as we saw with Bakh not everyone comes back from that injury ready to go within 12 months.
Now that he's signed, I hope Bobby T recovers in time to help the team in the second half of the season.
But I also hope that the plan at TE is not to go into 2022 with Degaura, Lewis, and (a possible second half of the season) Tonyan.
Yes, I'm hoping there is a TE worth a second round pick.
Wydermyer is my favorite overall prospect among TE. Maryland HB Chiggy Okonkwo is the most athletic...but he's only 6'2...but to me he could be everything they hoped Deguara would be. Ruckert from OSU has tallant but I think he's just a step slow to be a real weapon in this offense...he's better suited to blocking and catching on occasion.
Feels like moving Adams allowed the Campbell and Douglas signings to happen.
Yeah, TE looks pretty mediocre. I’d like Ferguson on Day 3 as I think he’d have the best impact early since TEs usually aren’t much of a factor as rookies but he has a knack for getting open.
Ruckert is intriguing because he has good hands but didn’t see many targets with those wideouts.
Jelani Wood is also interesting as he has solid speed and creates more size mismatches with his height, but his hands are stiff and he's still kind of skinny still for his body.
Part of me wonders what it would take for Seattle to trade Noah Fant since they're likely in rebuild mode.

Gotta love auto-correct.

I don’t enjoy your weirdo pervy routine, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Was not a fan of the Deguara pick at all, mostly because it was viewed by "those in the know" as an extreme overreach. That said, I'm not ready to write him off just yet.
He was drafted during the start of a pandemic which basically cost him the rookie camp, minicamps, and made training camp not the norm. Then he blows out his knee in the first series of his career. Guy has to spend his rookie season rehabbing, again not getting the fruits of a normal offseason. So in his second season (really his first) he plays just so-so, at best. OK, but there are plenty of players on every team in the history of sports that take a couple of seasons to "figure it out". So I'll see how he progresses into next season with a full season under his belt and hopefully a normal offseason.
And he seems to have gotten the label of having the dropsies. He had two drops this past season. Hardly a trend. There was another pass catcher recently on the Packers who was drafted pretty high, and it took that guy a couple of seasons to figure things out. And that guy did have the "dropsies". Until he didn't.
