I wish we’d get a nasty left-guard…

About Jermichael: Last year that didn’t seem to really be a problem, did it? With all the receiving core coming back, plus Jermichael (slowly but surely) I think that’s one department they are definitely good to go in.

It seems like we’ve lost more than we’ve kept/gained so far. Maybe that’s partially because these moves usually happen from March to June, and with all this action in just 4 days, my head’s spinning a bit.

My primary concerns BEFORE the lockout ended remained with special teams D/returns as well as the all concerning O-line. (we MUST protect Rodgers better this year) Now, with these moves, I find myself equally concerned about the D-line

Jermichael had a SERIOUS injury, one that can take a lot to come back from; are Havner, Quarless, and the rookies up for picking up the slack if Finley doesn’t return to the level of his 2009 play? I’m not sure….somebody reassure me, please!

Probably: I disagree with you on Jones. Despite the drops, Jones made some big plays for the Pack. Maybe more importantly, A-Rodg really wanted him back and honestly, he deserves to get what he wants, especially when its as simple as resigning a receiver.

Plus, the resigning of Jones was masterfully executed by TT. He allowed him to look around the league and try to get more money; when he didn’t get anything done, TT could get a better deal. Sure, this could have gone wrong, but it didn’t. So, I credit TT here.

You would expect him to get picks though. He would have the best hands on the defense but the other stuff would be the problem.

I’m pretty sure in pre season last year havner was playing at ILB with the 2nd or 3rd string and managed a pick. You never know maybe his true potential will come through

Havner’s value comes on ST, especially with the key departure of Hall who was a special teams ace.

I still trust Ted completely, but it’s hard not to be partially disappointed with how free agency has gone so far.

The Packers re-signed the one free agent I was really hoping to see drop would-be touchdown passes for another team this year (Jones). The moves within the linebacking corps are curious, given how many injuries we saw to linebackers last year. I agree with Launchpad about moving Havner back to defense primarily, but even then, that group’s awfully thin.

Here’s to hoping Underwood isn’t still on the roster come September…

Jones and king kuhn locked up is a good sign. Maybe jones realized that he’s not yet worth 2nd reciever money and will hang on for a few years to see what happens. In my opinion he is a 2 on a team with a thin receiving core, but for the pack he’ll be a 3 till DD retires.

I think they may keep Havner as a backup ILB. He was a two way player and is familiar with the system.
