Packers Free Agency News & Notes

So, should we continue talking about the 2013 season? Sure, why not!

I promised you a second part of our early offseason primer for the Green Bay Packers and dammit, that’s what you’re going to get.

Right. Now.

Part one, for those who missed it (shame on you if you are one such person), can be found here. In part two, we’re talking contracts, the draft and free agency, [...]

So, should we talk about the 2013 season already? Yeah, we probably should

The 2012 season is over for the Green Bay Packers. And, yes, many are still trying to get over the San Francisco defeat and trying not to think of what could’ve been.

But, as we all know, the NFL never stops. That means it’s time to begin piecing together what the 2013 edition of the Packers [...]

Big Play Tra inks extension - but what will the fallout be?

Green Bay Packers fans, you can rest easy.

Tramon Williams isn’t going anywhere.

Williams inked a four-year extension Tuesday that will keep him in green and gold through the 2014 season. The total value of the deal is believed to be worth $33.074 million.

Thanks to some nifty reporting from both Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press [...]

Players who could be moved in order to bolster areas of need

Monday, I wrote about the idea of Ted Thompson trading a player from an area of relative strength in order to bolster the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line.

That was written in the context of discussing the Johnny Jolly 2010 Suspension Tour, but really, d-line isn’t the only area Thompson could look to sure up via [...]

Jolly or Jenkins? One won't be back in 2011

The Green Bay Packers put a significant emphasis on the defensive line in this year’s draft.

By selecting Mike Neal (Purdue, second round) and C.J. Wilson (East Carolina, seventh round), the team made it clear it felt more size and depth needed to be added up front. And by officially moving B.J. Raji (RAJI!) and Ryan [...]

Wrapping up the week: RFAs, a possible 18-game schedule and a plea for your help

It’s been a few days since we last checked in. Okay, five days.

Our bad.

With the week winding down, here are my thoughts on some of the major Green Bay Packers-related stories of the past, well, five days.

Williams joins Jolly in signing tender; Bigby appears to be digging in

Well, it appears as though cornerback Tramon Williams took [...]

What to do with Atari and Tramon?

As we near 11:01 p.m. Lambeau Time, the Green Bay Packers have a pair of decisions to make.

At 11:01, the Packers can reduce the RFA tenders made to safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Tramon Williams to 110 percent of the 2009 salaries for each player. The Packers reportedly sent letters to those two – along [...]

So...why do people hate Ted Thompson, again? A closer look

Now that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does. But at the end of the day, I’m glad he’s running the show over at 1265 Lombardi [...]

Checking in (and rounding up)

Hey gang. We owe you an apology.

We know it’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything new. Sorry, we’ve all been busy with various endeavors – work, mostly -and just haven’t had the time. We truly care about breaking down all things related to the Green Bay Packers, but sometimes, life gets in the [...]

A Tuesday trip to the question department

Funny how things can change in a week, isn’t it?

At this time last week, there was almost nothing going on with the Green Bay Packers. I mean, I was writing 1,100-word posts on the “Lombardi” movie to pass the time, for God’s sake - and that movie won’t even come out until roughly two years from now!

All [...]
