Nice and early. I would like to see Raji signed, though. Just to see how much that will set the organization back moneywise.

Frischknecht, I hadn't heared anything about. I wonder if he'll be on the roster for a very long time. He had a very mediocre college career, apparently. Here's some stuff on him. And he has a German-like name.

Generally the first day picks are the last to sign, because there is a lot to negotiate, whereas the late round picks pretty much just get a contract based on where they were picked.

I know, but I just like a 1st rounder to be signed early. I really don't want to go through this TC crap.

Two guys are signed already and I'm hoping that more will follow soon. Even while it's still unlikely so soon.

Damn. I was going to post last night asking if we had signed any draft picks. I would have looked smart! Dammit!

I don't expect our 1's to be signed til a week before Training Camp starts at the earliest.

As one who always criticized Andrew Brandt for not getting started soon enough and not getting all the picks signed in time until his final year of doing it, I am happy.

Taking vacation and not getting it started until after July 4th always bothered me.

I realize I was in the minority.

Ever since the Bears had trouble with Cedric Benson they have been committed to to getting the signing done well ahead of time. Again this year they are one of the league's leaders.

There is nothing wrong with getting the job done.

Andrew Brandt had every pick signed in time all the way back to I think 2004.

No they may have reported a day late, but Brandt only got his final draft class signed before training camp started.

Where are you obtaining this information from and where can I view it for myself please?

edit, Training Camp started August 1st, 2005.

Rodgers was signed the night before. He was signed in time and was the final one signed. Wasn't Brandt the contract fella during that time?

I think I found that Harrell was signed the day before TC as well, wasn't that a Brandt contract? Or was that Ball?

I haven't checked any others.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (16h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (20h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (20h) : 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

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

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
