I was going to say White, but looked it up and he signed april 9th.

Is this a trick question, sir?

I assume that would be #92 in '93.

Applause to Ron Wolf for signing a high profile free agent instead of taking a mulligan.

...1993 Granted unrestricted free agency, March 1...Signed with Green Bay Packers as unrestricted free agent, April 9...

Inconsistencies all over the place. Packers.com just isn't up to PackersHome.com standards just yet.

I thought they were overpaying for an over the hill player and nothing good would come of it. 😛

Did they have a franchise tag back then?

Get Doc Brown on the phone and fire up that 1981 DeLorean and drop Teddy in the passenger seat, set the date to 4/8/1993.. this is how you do it. [grin1]

Yes.. I know.. a day early (depending on the version of events), but this way Ted gets to see the entire transaction unfold. lol.

beast (22h) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
