Do you want the Packers to sign him to a reasonable contract?

Free agent defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois is continuing his tour, and his next stop is Green Bay.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the veteran lineman is heading that way after previous stops in Seattle and Chicago, after he was released by Washington.

The 30-year-old has drawn interest from the Packers before, but he signed a deal with the Colts in 2013 instead.

I don't know a whole lot about this guy other than he was apparently a good locker room guy in Washington. With how thin the team is on the line and still a lot of cap space for another FA, or extending Linsley, Adams, and HHCD, I guess why not?!?

Defensive line, across the board, is the priority from here on out.

Certainly not a game changer but sounds like solid depth in the rotation which is about all you can expect from here to the draft barring some sort of trade . A reasonable contract? Sure. I'm not sure what that would be but I wouldn't think it would be much.

He's probably not a great full time Nose tackle, but could play there in a pinch along with all the other spots on the line. Would be a great depth signing, especially with Guion messing up.

Since he was cut he will not count against future compensatory picks.

I do not think the Packers can count on Guion any longer and need to have a plan for depth now that Datone and Peppers have left and both played a fair amount of DL in recent years.

I think this would be a good signing as insurance in case Clark and Lowry do not develop and Guion does not return.

Can almost never have enough big bodies to rotate in the Dline. Now just find another inside pass rusher to help Daniels.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : 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 (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.
