Packers Huddle

Bill wanting that Gronk/Hernandez combo again.

Tough pill to swallow after drafting 2 TE's last year.

WTF are they doing in NE??

I am going to call it, NE drops into obscurity until after they move on from Belichick.

Do you only visit this particular sub-forum?!

Why did you take out my last sentence?! Did it "scare" you?

PFT reports that they are unaware of a single time a player tagged at a 2nd round level has ever been signed to an offer sheet, let alone change teams due to it.

There's a first time for everything!

Another perspective. I don't agree with it, but interesting coming from him.

Actually, with all of the opt-outs they had, they get a lot of talent back. I wouldn't be surprised if they win the division. Need some help/luck at QB, but we'll see.

It could be the other way and they are trying to decide between a 1st round and 2nd round tender!

... just because it hasn't happened yet?

Honestly, that's a dumb take even if it turns out to be right (which would be dumb, also)

I think it's more likely he gets the original round tender than the 1st round tender.

He was an undrafted free agent, which of course you know.

Yeah, restricted free agents just don't get poached.

I do think 2nd round is maybe most likely, really don't think 1st rounder is on the table.

This is a 27 year old with one good season, 3 invisible seasons, and fairly extensive injury history. No one going to give up a 2nd and fair market contract for that. Zero reason to put a 1st on there, IMO.

And Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball, which I think just hurts receivers cred with other teams. Of course he looked good with Rodgers throwing. Will he be near as good with our crappy QB?

Speaking of young TEs, Hunter Henry also going to the Pats along with Jonnu Smith

Tryna do that Gronk/Hernandez offense again

scroll up, scroll up, scroll up. There you go.

I have a feeling that once the first couple of waves of signings are done, there will be quite a few players left looking for 1-year deals to have another crack at UFA in 2022. And if they consider 2021 a financially lost year anyways, GB and a chance at a title could start looking sufferable...

Another team that has been quiet but has a lot of cap space is the Colts. But maybe no one wants to play with Wentz. But I expect them to be big players too.

Yeah, if I were a team with a ton of cap space I'd try to land one big fish with a front-loaded deal, but then wait for the first wave to subside and have my pick of several bargain veterans.

That said, the Colts have a pretty good roster so don't need a huge infusion like the Jags; and yet the Jags are throwing week one money all over the yard.

It's not necessarily that I mind their moves--having a great two-TE set will be good for them. Ahgolar and Borne are nice side pieces (they still don't have a real #1 or anything close to it)

But more what they AREN'T doing. Joe Thuney gone; David Andrews rumored to be leaving... their OLine already was mediocre, but bleeding. Interesting to see what they do on that front.

William Jackson is my #1 free agent target if we move 'big'.

Kenny Golladay is probably my favorite luxury guy remaining I'd want, if no ridiculous contract. Think he'd be such a good fit here. Would like Will Fuller too. Seeing the money thrown at average at best WR's, doubt we'll be able to afford either.



Better price points:
Janoris Jenkins, Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson, Malcolm Butler

Might be pricier, but Solomon Thomas would really complete that front 4/5. Could see him wanting a 1 year prove it deal to hit FA next year after his injury.

Not really in love with any of the interior DL, not sure who is really a significant upgrade over Lowry or Lancaster that would be worth a sizable $$ investment. Might just wait a week or two there.

Kind of the same on the OL. Not sure who would definitely be better than Lane Taylor (if brought back), Runyan or Patrick. I'd just wait a while and see you can add at a discount.


Marvin Jones is probably my top WR target vs. $$ it would cost. I wouldn't hate Golden Tate, Emmanual Sanders, or AJ Green, if the price is very minimal.
