LT the NFL is a now league, the players want the money now, Ted Thompson doesn't do the now thing and you know that , I mean c'mon we are still building for the future. But as far as the Canty thing it's done and over with and Ted Thompson dropped the ball once again. OH Well i'm curious to see how the draft goes.

"You play with fire sometimes,'' Blank said Sunday night, "and sometimes you get burned. I needed the Redskins. They pay people, and they pay people quick. It didn't work out with them, and I know I'll be second-guessed, but I did what I thought I had to do to get the biggest contract I could. You can't ignore the team you think is going to pay you the most money. But isn't it amazing? The last team on my list the other night is the team he ends up with. That's what happens in this business.''
BTW they were talking about the Redskins not the Packers.


If Ted Thompson would have just offered $7 million a year he would be in green and gold. You said he knew the starting price, also knew other teams were in so why try and go with the low amount you go a little higher just to try and knock out the feelers (tt). Just like playing poker you have a marginal hand so you don't just call you make a bet to keep the free loaders from staying in.


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

Let's play a game....


"I don't know squat about Agents or Players or General Managers and I have a misguided hatred for our GM so I will say he dropped the ball on a player that chose to play for a different team."

Who am I?

All Ted Thompson had to do is offer $7 mill a year and it would have been a done deal, did you not see where it said they signed with the last team on the list? Or maybe we weren't even on the list then.

I don't think we were on the list because he never made arrangements to come visit Green Bay.

And that is ALL TED had to do? Really? You should be a GM, you seem to know it ALL. I mean, because players never EVER decide to sign a contract, it is only the GM who makes that decision for them.


VOTE FOR DHAZER AS GM!! w00t w00t!

Oh C'mon Zero there were tons of reports that people posted saying Canty was considering GB lol. But like i said i don't expect any free agents to come to GB (this is another example of that), But if i was GM things would be different 🙂 as you know by now i don't wear the blinders as alot of you do. Bigby would be gone and Al Harris would be traded. To be honest i would even be shopping Hawk around.




edit: Opps forgot the big one Bustin would be gone for sure.

lol his AGENT said with GB being a 3 - 4 it would be the perfect match or something to that effect. I believe Canty grew up or lives in the NY area and that played a big role. Plus they just won a SB a year or two ago.

I HOPED he would land here, but yeah I can't really say I expected him to. I don't foresee us signing anyone of note until after the first month of FA has expired.


If you were GM, that is what I would fear, things would be different. You'd sign someone just for the sake of coming back here to say "HA see I signed someone, Ted didn't!"

You make decisions based on emotion, Ted and Co. are making them in the best interest of the team, you know, the Packers.


I do hope we sign someone though. I need to trade for someone on Madden! 🙂

Well me shipping Bigby is because i see alot of mistakes and he just seems to lose focus at times, as far as trading Al is because he is getting up there in age and now we could get a decent trade value for him (also we have Tramon in the waiting). Trading Hawk would be because i don't see the great player he was made out to be and hopefully could get a good draft pick back or decent player that would fit in the 3-4. Canning Bustin is easy to figure out he has gotten enough free chicken and ribs from us.

I happen to like Bigby and I can't say for sure how many years Al has left in him. I'm enjoying Tramon as an up and coming prospect, but methinks Al still has Tramon beat in '09.

As for Hawk, I'd take a wait and see approach and see how he does in this 3-4.

But your very last sentence was hilarious.
