Remember that one time I was right?

The tight end position is going to better because Jared Cook WILL sign with the GREEN BAY PACKERS.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE. THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE SIGNING A FREE AGENT WHO PLAYED FOR ANOTHER TEAM LAST SEASON.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

The Packers under General Manager Ted Thompson are known for their patient approach to free agency, with patient a euphemism for what seems like open disdain. But they may be close to making their annual move. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, former Rams tight end Jared Cook is in Green Bay and...

I am curious if the fans crying about the Packers not signing free agents will endorse this or find yet another way to complain. I'll get the popcorn.

Good to see. Still think they should have pursued Ladarius Green, but this will at least offer some competition for Rodgers.

Was surprised that it was a one-year deal, though. Thought Ted Thompson didn't want to "rent" players (see R. Moss discussions). But like it nonetheless.

One signing of a second tier guy isn't going to stop my "crying about the Packers not signing free agents", though. Sorry.

Found this interesting. "Ted Thompson made an offer immediately following the March 14 visit, then they waited while Cook tried to see if there was any other interest." from Rob Demovsky. So the Packers immediately pulled the trigger and it took a FREE AGENT two weeks to agree. And here I thought went down more like, you see a player, ink them and win the Super Bowl. Who knew these things happened like this?

Dwayne Allen: 4yrs $30 million
Coby Fleener: 5yrs $36.5 million
Ladarius Green: 4yrs $20 million

Pretty clear the Packers will be getting the most return on their investment.

Check this out! I wonder if he can do this with Aaron Rodgers?

I mean yeah, Ted offered it right away, but that doesn't mean it was a blockbuster amount. Glad to see it worked out though!

This is exactly the kind of deal I was hoping Cook would sign, a 1-2 year incentive laden deal so hopefully we get the best from him. I bet when the details emerge Cook will probably make only 2 - 2.5m of that money and if he does make all 3.6 it'll be because he's having a pro bowl year and we're in the super bowl. Those are incentives I can live with 😎

And Ted Thompson has started to give into the one year deal, which I believe started with CB Frank Walker in 2007, and has continued with Raji, and now guys like Perry and Cook.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

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

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

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 (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

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.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

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

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

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

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
