I couldn't disagree more with the idea of trading Pickett, even if Raji is ready, which I think he is.

You need depth along your front seven whether it's a 3-4 or 4-3. Doesn't matter. Pickett and Raji play the same position, but they're both going to play a lot this year due to the rotation Green Bay uses. Not to mention, if Jenkins or Jolly go down or are suspended, Raji moves to DE and Pickett plays NT. If Raji goes down, I want a player of Pickett's caliber playing NT. You may say don't overpay for a backup, but Pickett isn't a backup. He's apart of a four-man rotation that plays close to the same amount of snaps.

Jenkins, obviously, plays the most for obvious reasons, but the other three need each other, especially as the season lingers on.

Franchise him and get him extended for probably three years. I'm guessing Pickett is pushing for four though, but they can compromise.

Bear in mind too that the coaching staff has made no secret of the fact that they're grooming Raji to play DE, at least in the short term. I'm pretty confident Pickett stays.

Makes sense, but I hope we're not resting on our laurels and taking too long to re-sign players.

Collins is only going to be a RFA and will definitely receive the maximum tender. A first & third rounder. A team would have to give that up in order to sign him away from Green Bay, and even though Collins is a great player, no team is probably going to be willing to give that up for Collins services.

In other words, Collins is going nowhere. The Packers biggest worries right now though with Collins is that he is probably a high-risk candidate to hold out until he receives a long term deal.

Collins will be a RFA unless the CBA is redone by March 5th... which we all have a better chance of Peppers being a Packer this season..

In other words.. Collins isn't going anywhere without the Packers getting value in return... or more bluntly put.. he will be a Packer next season.

I wonder what Pickett's trade value would be. With Hampton, Wilfork and the guy from San Fran all likely getting the F-tag Pickett may be the ONLY quality D-lineman available.

At 30 he's no too old, we've kept his snaps down and last year he was rock solid vs the run. There just aren't that many big run stoppers in the league, let alone available on the trading block.

I'm all for keeping him for the reasons stated, but I'd love to know what some desperate team might offer up.

It's official.

Green Bay Packers placed their franchise tag on DT Ryan Pickett. The DT franchise tag is $7 million. Pickett not going anywhere.

beast (20h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (23h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
