The FA Shelf is hardly bare...

The below quote is from another thread.. the Mike Montgomery thread.. the misconception is that there is no one out there to be signed that could help this club.. that is hardly the case.

Again, no one else to sign. Fill the roster Ted Thompson. This defense should be stellar once again.

Here is a list of players that were on a active roster last season that can be signed.. a good number of these players would help our club out. But my oh my the offseason is over... if I remember correctly, the defensive coaches first at the players live will be in minicamps.. don't you think that they might want to see what they have, formulate a idea of what they need yet and then go shopping?

On paper and in live action are two different things.. patience folks.

A lot of quality guys are still out there, but the philosophy of this regime has been established. They probably won't sign more than one guy and it's going to be a "gem".

We have already signed our FA for this year.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

B.S... Canty, Burnett, and Olshansky, the monster future HOF stars of this year's FA, are already gone. We are doomed.

There are some stopgap guys out there, but no studs or sure starters.

Holliday, Carter, Berry, Coady, and Wright are all stop gap types out there.

Gotta go with porky on this one - Ted definitely seems to be entrenched in his philosophy. I hope it works out - I'll admit that at the moment I'm having a hard time figuring out how it will, but we'll see what's up when they hit the field in August, I suppose.

Like I said before when teams have signed all their picks and it's time to start trimming the roster there will be a significant number of players available.

I keep hearing "well, he's only a rotational player". Isn't that what we need? It seems to me other than ROLB most starting positions are fairly well set so solid rotational guys along the DL would be fine by me.

If the draft goes well we may find a couple of guys that can dig it out in the trenches and we may well have the ROLB spot by the time the #9 pick comes around or even a little later if we trade back.

I'd be interested in maybe one of the tackles if it worked out, but I wouldn't be heartbroken or annoyed. To me this FA class for our needs is particularly dull.

War, you know as well as I that Jeremy Thompson is going to be given every opportunity to win that job. Ted doesn't trade up for a player very often.

Raji or Andre Smith for me at #9.

Zero2Cool (48m) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (54m) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (59m) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (2h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (3h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (3h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (5h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (6h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (6h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (6h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (6h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (6h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (6h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (8h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (10h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (10h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (10h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (10h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (17h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (22h) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (22h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (23h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (23h) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (23h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit

hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.

packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?
