Trashing aside, I still have high hopes for Adams. He was great at times in 2014. His injury was pretty serious, so that obviously impacted his start to the year. May have even lingered. Plus, he was hardly alone in failing to step up in Jordy's absence.

I haven't given up on his potential, but I do still hope he has to earn his spot in the pecking order this August.

It is remarlable how under the radar this signing is.  ESPN doesn't even have him listed on their free Agent Tracker.  SI also had no real story other than the standard wire service story.  Way to go TT and Packers. 

And NFL Network gives anything GB even less than that.  This off season I have never heard GB discussed on the NFLN.

I've got to be honest, one of the reasons the Packers aren't covered much in the off-season is that they rarely make any sort of big splash.  The Packers are covered more than enough once things actually start to matter.  As a matter of fact, I got to the point in 2011 that I thought the coverage was too much. 

The Packers are just 1 of 32 teams, they don't make big off-season big splashes, they haven't been to the Super Bowl in 6 seasons.  There's a reason they aren't covered that much this time of the year, there's little new to cover at this point. 

The off-season is the shining moment for teams like the Cowboys and the Browns.  The Packers' shining moments come on the field during the regular season.

 

Green Bay Packers tight end Jared Cook, the team's biggest offseason acquisition this year, underwent foot surgery this week and will miss the rest of the offseason program. Cook was not at practice on Thursday when reporters were allowed to watch for the second time during organized team activities, and coach Mike McCarthy does not provide updates on injuries or attendance during voluntary sessions. The Packers gave Cook a one-year, $2.75 million contract after the Los Angeles Rams cut him in February.

Further update..

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers tight end Jared Cook, the team's biggest offseason acquisition this year, underwent foot surgery this week and will miss the rest of the offseason program, multiple sources told ESPN.

The Packers hope that Cook will be back for training camp next month. The surgery was described as "preventative" and something both Cook and the team wanted to take care of now so that it didn't linger into the regular season.

A lot of players have nagging injuries that could be taken care of or not. Most docs tend to want to put off surgery unless absolutely necessary. Jordy had hip problems and put off surgery, AR had a knee problem that he put off, Lang had shoulder problems that he put off. Sometimes it better to wait and see if the problem gets worse before needing surgery. Surgery is always the last solution  from a medical standpoint in iffy cases.
