Earlier Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers gave word that they had placed tenders on eight of their nine restricted free agents. They also tendered one of their exclusive rights free agents. The deadline for doing so was Thursday, so this announcement wasn’t a major surprise or anything. We don’t know everything yet, as far as who got what tender, [...] Here is part two of our look at Green Bay’s restricted free agents. No long-ass intros needed for this one. Again, enjoy. Free safety Nick Colllins – Collins made $3.148 million last season in the last year of his rookie contract (some various incentives kicked in, thus the high salary). Of all the various scenarios regarding the team’s [...] What was rumored Tuesday became official Wednesday. Ahman Green is a Green Bay Packer once again. Green signed a one-year deal with the team. Terms were not disclosed. Green and former Indianapolis Colts running back Dominic Rhodes both worked out for the team Monday. I’ll have a column expanding my thoughts on the Green signing later today, so [...] Well, the trade deadline has come and gone and it took any hopes of the Green Bay Packers getting Steven Jackson with it. I didn’t really hold out much hope that Green Bay would pull this deal off. In fact, it was more wishful thinking that anything else. Jackson’s too good and, at 26, probably too [...] Mike McCarthy can be stubborn. We all know that. But it’s time the Green Bay Packers’ head coach wises up and ditches the idea that Ryan Grant can be an inside-the-tackles runner. Too many times, particularly in Sunday’s 36-17 win over the St. Louis Rams, McCarthy had Grant running the ball right into the middle of the [...] We all know the roster has to be trimmed to 53 by Saturday. Some cuts will be a lot easier than others and some players are already destined to the practice squad. The one position that remains muddled is running back. Last year the Packers started the season with five backs – Ryan Grant, Brandon [...] Yes, the Packers have looked outstanding during the preseason and the upcoming season should be a good one. Still, there are some players on the roster who need to use 2009 to prove that they belong on the team for the foreseeable future – by my count, five. And here they are: 5. Donald Lee, tight end Lee has [...] (I wish we could utilize sound effects on this site, because I’d totally begin this post with the ultra-creepy “Update” music that used to run on “Unsolved Mysteries” whenever a criminal was caught or mystery was, in fact, solved. You remember, right? The music that should have made you feel better because something good had [...] Saturday night, we began to see just what kind of team the Green Bay Packers might be this season. There were a lot of signs that the Pack could be pretty damn good as they blanked the Cleveland Browns 17-0 at Lambeau Field. Still, there were some areas that were cringe-worthy (for the first preseason game, anyways). With [...] |
