The Packers rarely, if ever, have been active in the first 72-96 hours other than with their own FAs.
Which may be smart. Let the other teams spend wildly and then when the dust starts to settle be smart about it.
As for Lazard, I would love to see him back in GB but I don't know if he is worth spending huge to keep him. Great blocker and decent WR just not worth getting paid as a #1 WR.

And just like last season when wiser heads counseled those that were concerned that losing Davante Adams left a void in the receiving corps, it must be remembered that a Sammy Watkins level vet (or maybe even Sammy himself) will still be out there in a week or two for Gute to swoop in and sign and add to all that weaponry he's assembled to make the transition to Jordan Love as smooth as possible.

Don’t forget the 5.88 rushing yds per game he assisted on
Wahle talks about potential FA...the difference between him and the fanboys is there is some analysis of the players talent. Dude evaluates talent for a living. Knows his shit.
and he parties on shawano lake regularly
The Bears should send the Packers one of their recently acquired draft picks just for getting rid of Aaron Rodgers.
What Packer free agents should we resign? Nixon only one so far, right?
Reed was a nice addition for the Packers last season. But Wyatt needed more snaps by mid season. This will be one reason to give him more.
Packers lose Reed to the Seahawks where he played previously. https://t.co/8O7xbPGixl

Comp pick for Reed will be worth more than re-signing him. D-Wy needs the reps.
What if it is a 3rd round pick? 
Interesting season ahead. Hopefully full of young hungry players.
And just enough veteran leadership
I think there will be growing pains, but so far I like the direction it's headed. And I'm okay with leaving some cap space for next year so if Love does turn out to be pretty good this year with room to grow, they can add more pieces around him for 2024.
Probably not a bad price for a swing guy.
While I have no idea what will happen with Aaron Rodgers, I do know the Packers created $2.628M in cap space by restructuring LB De’Vondre Campbell’s contract.

And the Lions renegotiated the deal for Edge Charles Harris, creating $2,823,529 in cap space.
4M for a decent backup (and starter quality tackle) is a smart move.
@michiganjoe posted:@TomPelisseroThe #Packers put a second-round RFA tender on OL Yosh Nijman, per source. It’s worth $4.304M.
If what fanboy Bukowski says has any validity, that Nijman is better than Jawaan Taylor who just got $15M a year fully guaranteed, this is just very smart business. If a team really values him, it will cost them a 2nd round pick. Packers only have to pay him $4.3M a year but will probably bump that up to something more reasonable around 8M a year, and get him for almost half what Jawaan Taylor costs.

I'd love to see the Packers use the cap space they are clearing and give an FU to Rodgers by signing DeAndre Hopkins. A bit of an upgrade over Cobb and Lazard. Would add a great veteran presence for Watson, Doubs and Toure.
Hopkins can't stay on the field.
Because the best way to run a franchise is out of pettiness and spite?
That would actually be a huge indictment on the front office for not doing more when they had a HOF QB. None of this cap space has anything to do with Rodgers’ contract.

I don’t understand the angst towards 12. He’s a fucking legend and one of the best players ever to grace our franchise. It’s time to move on and both sides agree on it. Perhaps we could all do it with a bit of class?
@Packmeister posted:Hopkins can't stay on the field.
As with all players, as they age they start to become injury prone.
Nuke was certainly the model of consistency with his health his first two years, but battled some hamstring issues the last two.
He will be 31 in June...unless Gute believes he is the "one missing piece" it's probably better to draft and develop. Corey Davis should/could replace Lazard for a veteran presence. Hopkins will cost you probably a 2nd rounder, outside shot a 3rd and maybe a 5th.
Exactly .... same goes for Lazard, Cobb, & Lewis.... seeing them referred to as "cronies" on this forum is disappointing.

Crony -"While a crony is basically just a good pal or sidekick, the word sometimes has a negative connotation — that you and your crony are up to no good together. It also implies the idea of cronyism, or unfairly giving friends jobs or promotions they're not qualified for."
Posse - "a group of friends or associates: hanging out with your posse"

Whether right or wrong, and realizing $$$$ can cure all things, I don't envision seeing many higher profile WR wanting to come to GB to play with a first year QB......
They weren't coming to play with 12 either, so I guess nothing is really changing.
We lost Jerran Reed.
Yesterday.

The past four years have been a roller coaster of emotions for me. Since day one Packer fans have always had my back. Y’all have never failed to impress me with your overwhelming love and support, no matter where we played.
I’ll cherish the history we made and the relationships I’ve built the most. I’m so thankful for my unwavering support and love from my family and friends I would not be here today without you, thank you! #ATT
