Where is this at exactly?

BTW, Schefter was right.

BTW, BTW, 10 million dollars still waiting to be used to address issues on this defense.

So the cuts come out this upcoming Tuesday, right.  Wouldn't be surprised if Gute is holding on to cash to see what's available starting Tuesday.

But until then, which available FA had you hoped the Packers would've signed by now?? 33 yr old Geno Atkins?  32 yr olds Kawann Short or Jurrell Casey? I mean, there's other teams that could upgrade their interior D-lines and yet those guys are still available.  Maybe there's a reason. Maybe they're waiting out preseason to see if teams get desperate and then maximize their 1 year deals.  From their perspective, what's the rush to sign?  So can can practice in the heat instead of enjoying the summer?  And have you looked at available MLBs??  Yikes.

Yes.  My rebuttal is this.

I think the breakout of MVS started at the end of last year. 

One thing to keep in mind is that there is one one football and only so many plays.  If one player is getting more opportunities then someone else is getting less.  Last year there was Adams with 149 targets followed by 4 guys in the 46 to 63 target range.  MVS had 63 targets.  I think MVS's improvement will come in the form of more consistency with the opportunities he does get.  So that means he catches more of those targets for one thing.  And that is part of what I think he did better toward the end of last year. 

Of the Packers top 6 receivers last year, 3 were WRs, 2 were RBs, and 1 was a TE.  It could be something like that again this year.

Joe Schobert for a 6th was a very reasonable price for Pittsburgh to pay for linebacker depth and would have been a perfect fit as a guy who can play any of the four spots and has a very low cap number the next few years. Jacksonville front-loaded the heck out of his contract.
