Or, if that's too aggressive, what does "Doing everything reasonable to go for a Super Bowl win" look like to you?

For me, going for Dalman, DaVante, Adebo and Azeez Ojulari in free agency makes sense. They're all good players that shouldn't break the bank. Dalman would be an upgrade and center, Adams would add gravitas and reliability at receiver, Adebo is a solid corner who can play man, and Ojulari is a young guy, 24, who can play the role of pass rush specialist and may be cheaper than Mack or Chase Young.

In the draft it may be time to give up some future assets with the depth at D-line for an extra pick(s). The draft being in Green Bay is a nice "excuse" for the press conference optics, too.

I am with you, other than preferring Mack as our edge addition, while realizing getting all of them may not be economically possible, nor may they all want to come here as opposed to somewhere else.

Well we have to stop trying to be the youngest team in the league and get some veteran leadership for one

i completely agree.  I am sure there are some younger guys such as Jacobs being leaders on the team, but I think it can never be overlooked having some seasoned vets around. 

There is a right and wrong time for going all in.  Got a good to great young  qb on  a rookie contract (Washington for example) mortgage the future, spend everything, take some chances.  In short go all in.  A team like NO or Vegas, nope, a slow build is required.

Once that qb gets to a big contract, money changes everything and options are somewhat limited.

Packers projected to have $49M in cap space...plenty of room to add some solid FA, re-sign wanted guys...if that number is closer to $10M when all is said and done this off-season...that's All-In for me.

And I think that is honestly the Packers version of all in.  Draft and develop talent, manage the cap well, and fill in roster gaps with FAs that make sense.  It may not be the most splashy way of doing things but that is how you manage things long term.

GB ranks 13th in the league as of now in cap space. They would add another 6-7 million by cutting or trading Alexander.

So agree, they have plenty of room to go on a shopping spree in FA and the cap was also much higher than initially anticipated.

So does mean a Josh Myers is now re-signed with the Packers and does not go way of John Runyan JR? The Packer way almost always is never to overpay. I don't think Myers would command an elite/great player salary because I don't think he's anywhere near that category.

But because GB has decent cap room doesn't mean they should go hog wild and overpay players IMO. And I can't see them doing that. But plenty of other teams and owners will do just that. I heard this morning the Pat's sit at 120mil in cap space.

Which is insane and no team ever wants to have that much to find talent.

The fanboy media seems to think it's a forgone conclusion they move on from Myers...perhaps they think his injury is more problematic and they need to address OC1 more urgently...and as much as they are D&D, rookie centers are seldom the best scenario.

They'd likely need a veteran on some short term basis, unless the plan is to move EG there and play Morgan at LG or some such nonsensery...

Sorry for thinking this way, but, I would gladly give up a few of those winning seasons we’ve had over the 30+ years and have a couple more Lombardis in our trophy case

Oh don't be sorry for thinking that way.  I woud also trade a few seasons to win even one more SB in the last 30 years.

How about playing Monk, at C? Is he ready for prime time?

Monk is a mystery. He was getting some First Team reps at guard in training camp https://www.si.com/nfl/packers...ng-camp-01j4t693yym5 and then must have fallen out of favor with the coaching staff since i don't think he was active for any game this season. Myers seems to be more highly thought of by the Packers organization that he is by anyone outside of it. last August Demovsky reported that people inside the organization believed that Zack Tom could be a hall-of-fame center https://packerswire.usatoday.c...potential-at-center/. The problem is that he is a pro bowl RT. If Jordan Morgan improves could they move him to RT and Tom to center?

I saw Monk prepping to come into a game, last season. It may have been the Eagles playoff game, or the 2nd Lions' game, but I'm not sure. He never saw the field, though, but he was snapping the ball, on the sideline.

I would give up a lot more than a few winning seasons to have even one more Lombardi.
