Seriously are you at all a Packer fan? You say those are all good moves but we did nothing to replace them. The defense was playing great at the end of the year but now you take away what 4 of the starters and you think its ok. Alot of people are saying its ok but what did we replace these guys with? Anyone Anyone Bueller? Right now we have 2 ILB that were what 3rd string bottom of the barrel CBs and no NT. Yaaaaaa I can see another 9-7 year coming because our defense won't stop anyone. Maybe thats why he banked so much on the whale and Cobb, hoping to outscore other teams. I think we have lost ground on the Seahawks and Cowboys and Eagles.

A lot of time he literately gave the ball back to the opposing team on important & crucial 3rd downs. As for A.J. Hawk, pretty much anyone would be able to fill his shoes "not get injured and tackle the player if they run directly towards him).

As for the CB position, House ... do we even know what we lost or should I say do the Jags know what they've paid for? His been an injury prone since his been here, could not stay healthy. Tramon Williams may be the only important player that we might of lost this off season. All tho, with his age he can only be slowing down. I have a feeling with Tramon Williams there was more of him not wanting to be here then actually T.T. trying to sign him. If I remember right before Free agency he was offered a 2 year deal $8 million & he rejected.

I still think the Packers will re-sign Raji & Guion. How did we lose ground on Cowboys and Eagles when Cowboys lost there best player & the eagles we're never ahead of us and are still far back. Seahawks lost there starting center & their opposing CB.

Look we need to face it, in free agency you might add, lose & keep players. There's no guarantee if you add players it will make your team any better. I like consistency and to bringing in your own talent by adding one or two free agents along the way. At the end of the year the healthiest and hottest team wins.



Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Okay this number of starter is rising... first read him say 3 now it's 4? Umm what four of the starters have left GB and signed with other teams?

1) CB Tramon Williams
2) ILB AJ Hawk (who they were trying to find way to keep him off the field)
3) ????
4) ????

what 3rd string bottom of the barrel CBs

Other teams must like the Packers CBs a lot and the Packers still have Shields, Hyde and Hayward. And somehow Hayward has lead the team in INTs all the year he's been healthy.


and no NT. Yaaaaaa I can see another 9-7 year coming because our defense won't stop anyone.

I can't say if they're going to grow or not... but the Packers have a couple of guys that if they grow some more could potential play NT.... and here is an idea... the Packers still might sign a NT as FA is far from over...

Boyd, Josh
Pennel, Mike
Robinson, Luther
Thornton, Khyri
Gaston, Bruce

Surprised he signed with another team. Thought he'd be back on a one year deal while someone picked this year was groomed.

Most of the time when a Packer signs with somebody else, I have bad feelings for them. Occasionally, though, when somebody who has given us excellence for a long time goes and literally FLEECES some other team, well, I'll just say Good Job and Good Luck. I hope enough of that $21 mil is guaranteed.

Shield and beast get +1s. Our cbs are the only losses, and you could make a case for why it wasn't worth keeping either of them aside from the exorbitant price they were paid.

FA and the draft aren't over. We're 1 week into the 2015 season. Linsley, Peppers, Guion, HaHa, Davante, and Rich Rodgers were all impact players added AFTER the first FA rush, so it's WAY too early to judge the 2015 Packer's roster.

We are instantly less soft with him gone. I am ecstatic. 3 of our softest players are no more...Hawk, Jones and Tramon.

Tramon will never see year 3 of his current deal and may not, depending on structure, see year 2.

I'm happy to see the change. My lasting memory will be him taking one to the house right before half in the playoff game at Atlanta.

So your close to a Super Bowl and you let alot of your defense go and want to bank on rookies and untested players, ya thats the way to make it to the Super Bowl, oh ya and heaven forbid we over pay on anyone, not like we aren't overpaying for CM3. Ted Thompson acts like he gets to pocket the $21 million we still have in cap room. Oh well hopefully we can get a top 10 pick. Bad thing is we will be playing against the the weak Bears and Vikes and 1 win against the Lions lol. Well so much for a top 5 pick.

You should become a redskins or buccaneers fan. They seem to always always be active in free agency. Plus you'd pretty much be assured the top 10 pick you want so dearly. It would be the best of both worlds for ya.

I think Tramon is still better than people think. I think his departure means a downgrade unless they hit a homerun at CB in the draft. And I definitely think he's the bigger loss of the two CBs that have signed elsewhere, since I've never understood what people have been seeing in House.
