It's too bad, we can't easily get Rodgers, Matthews, Shields, Pepper and Cobb maybe taking $1 million less... and then asking WR Torrey Smith to taking a million or two less himself and then the Packers could afford it.

Also your logic doesn't make sense to me... if those 3 aren't going to be here next year... wouldn't it make more sense for Smith to be added? Because their would be more cap room... so easier to add him, therefore that would make it more likely.

Basically it'd be a trade off, dropping those 3 to pick up someone else (such as Smith).

But Bulaga can play... at some point I thought they may have to slide him into OG, but he should be able to play there as he's physical enough, if another/better OT steps up sometime in the future.

The reason I think Matthews is a possible cut is because of the guys we need to resign. You have Tretter and Lang on the Oline. Then you have Datone Jones, who's become a valuable player btw, and Nick Perry. Also, you have to prepare to give Randall and Rollins contract extensions.

The NFL is a business, not a fan favorite keep everybody sport. Tough decisions go with managing a cap, and players that are not performing to their contract amounts become expendable.

Why do you think agents and players try to get as much guaranteed money in their contracts?

Torrey Smith = Bad Deal

Montgomery = Deep Threat ( Provided someone wakes the hell up .)

The 2016 Packers greatest current concern, IMO, is at the RB and the CB positions . In addition, if the advantage this team possess' is not cashed in THIS SEASON , a great window of opportunity will slam shut for the Packers. It may then take as long as 5 years for that window to open again .

It was sad watching Wolf and Sherman fuck up what should have been a dynasty with Favre. And it is equally as frustrating watching Ted Thompson fuck up this team.

Oh well, I was lucky to watch the 96 and 2010 teams. Could be worse, we could be Vikings fans.

I thought he sounded like a good addition to our offense, but that price tag is way too high. There is no way that Ted would match that contract, and for good reason. We already have a few guys that aren't earning their monster paychecks.

I am all for paying to get more talent on the roster, but when you figure that Pittsburgh is paying 10 million for Antonio Brown - you can't justify it. If Smith is due 9+ million per year, he would have to be a touchdown machine.

Mucky Tundra (16m) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (2h) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (3h) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (6h) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (7h) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (12h) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (12h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (19h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (19h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (19h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th
