The Inside Dirt on the Packers Restricted Free Agents
Mar 4th
The Green Bay Packers have submitted tenders to nine restricted free agents. The team hasn’t announced at what level they’ve tendered them, but some information has surfaced in the past 24 hours.
Here’s a summary.
Nick Collins – The Packers starting free safety received the highest possible tender, which is a 10 percent increase on his salary [...]
Packers Tender Blackmon, Williams; Colledge Has Competition
Mar 2nd
The Green Bay Packers used the original-round tender on cornerback Will Blackmon, who is returning from a knee injury. The tender is for $1.176 million and gives the Packers the right to match any offer Blackmon receives.
If Blackmon signs with another team, the Packers would receive a fourth-round draft pick.
Meanwhile, cornerback Tramon Williams, who finished [...]
Green Bay Packers Combine Roundup 2
Feb 27th
There are all kinds of totally awesome stories coming out of the NFL scouting combine, so let’s get right to it.
Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell, who we suggested might be available when the Green Bay Packers pick at No. 23, is tearing it up. Campbell ran a 4.85 40-yard dash, which is pretty damn fast [...]
Top-Flight Cornerbacks Available, Packers Unlikely To Act
Feb 25th
Make no mistake about it, the Green Bay Packers are in the cornerback market.
Al Harris is rehabilitating a major knee injury and behind Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams, who ended the season as the starters, the Packers are thin. There has been speculation the Packers might be interested in acquiring San Diego’s Antonio Cromartie, who [...]
Chargers’ Cromartie To Packers: Only If Price Is Right
Feb 18th
The San Diego Chargers need a running back. LaDanian Tomlinson, who will turn 31 in June, is likely to be released by the team after gaining only 730 yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry in 2009. His backup, Darren Sproles, will be a restricted free agent.
The Chargers could re-sign Sproles, but after paying him [...]
Packers Top Free Agent Priority: Ryan Pickett
Feb 3rd
Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week. Although he’s clearly their top player without a contract for the 2010 season, safety Nick Collins is not at the top of the Packers’ list of players to resign.
The main reason is Collins will be a restricted [...]
The Rest of the Green Bay Packers News
Jan 23rd
No, I’m not going to start doing a Green Bay Packers-related link dump every day, or even every week. I get much more satisfaction from writing stuff and then letting you guys shit all over it.
Besides, Railbird Central already does that, and does it better than I would ever care to do it, with the [...]
Packers Have Some Work To Do In the Middle
Jan 11th
The Green Bay Packers defense was exposed by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The NFL’s second-ranked unit fell apart against the vaunted Cardinals passing attack, much the same way they did three weeks earlier against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It’s now pretty clear why these things have happened. The middle of the Packers defense if vulnerable and [...]
Injuries Could Play Major Factor in Cardinals, Packers Rematch
Jan 7th
The Arizona Cardinals suffered three key injuries during their 33-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and defensive end Calais Campbell all left the contest and are in varying degrees of disrepair heading into the teams’ wild card matchup.
Boldin, who recorded 84 receptions for 1,024 yards [...]
Round One: Packers…Doesn’t Mean Much Though
Jan 3rd
It’s hard to take too much away from the Green Bay Packers’ 33-7 drumming of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
It was a dominating performance, but Arizona rested most of its starters and coach Ken Whisenhunt played it safe, not showing much of what he will do when the two teams meet again next week in [...]
Ranking the Green Bay Packers’ Free Agents
Dec 15th
The Green Bay Packers have 18 players in their contract year after Monday’s resigning of linebacker Brandon Chillar. However, the situation isn’t as dire as it may look.
The collective bargaining agreement – the agreement between the owners and player’s association that dictates the rules of the salary cap, free agency, guaranteed spending, rookie salaries, etc. [...]
Holy Shit, Charles Woodson
Dec 10th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson has made play after play this season, many of them game changing and game winning. But today, I submit to you what I believe to be the most impressive play Charles Woodson has made all season.
During the fourth quarter of the Baltimore Ravens game Tramon Williams was flagged for [...]
Harris, Kampman Done For the Year
Nov 23rd
As we mentioned yesterday, the Green Bay Packers win over the San Francisco 49ers likely came at a cost. The cost is, unfortunately, higher than anyone had planned for, as both outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris will be lost for the season with torn ACLs.
While the Packers will be down two starters, [...]
Packers Tried to Bring In Aaron Stecker
Oct 26th
I have it from a reliable source that the Green Bay Packers tried to bring in former Ashwaubenon star Aaron Stecker for a tryout today.
Unfortunately, the Packers didn’t get a chance to take a look at the former Tampa Bay and New Orleans running back/kick returner, as he had already signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
Although [...]
Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement
Jul 1st
With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season.
Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too.
There are some very good reasons [...]
Al Harris: Fuck You Guys!
Jun 1st
Don’t ever question me, motherfucker! Getty Images
The Green Bay Packers have been lucky enough to have one of the top cornerbacks in the game for the past six seasons in Al Harris.
In his early Packers career, I used to refer to him as “Solid,” i.e. Al “Solid” Harris, because that’s what he was – not [...]
Driver Pissed. Kampman Silent. Tramon Rich. Harrell Healthy?
May 29th
Gettin’ paid, bitch! From NewsDay.com
All of this came out on the first day of the Green Bay Packers OTAs, which, for the uninitiated stands for organized team activities. OTAs are basically a way for coaches to get the team together and start practice before the NFL officially allows them to start practice.
OTAs are not mandatory, [...]
The Cornerback Battle
May 27th
Is this Will Blackmon’s breakthrough year? From DayLife.com
While the Green Bay Packers certainly have some positions up for grabs this offseason – the entire offensive line, two defensive line spots, two outside linebacker spots, and fullback are in play, as well as who starts at safety alongside Nick Collins – there is one position that [...]
Free Agency 2009: Our Guys
Feb 16th
The 2009 free agency signing period begins on February 27 and the Green Bay Packers are in very good shape, at approximately $25 million below the projected $123 million salary cap.
Before we reveal our list of free agency demands for 2009, let’s take a look at the Packers own free agents. The most substantial name [...]
Al Harris is the Best CB in the League
Jan 27th
What? Yeah, that’s what I said.
I love Al Harris, but he’s certainly no Chuckles Woodson, and when he came back from his spleen injury this past season, I secretly thought Tramon Williams was playing better than Al, before he got hurt.
Anyway, to the point…
Through some complex mathematical formula akin to quarterback ratings or BCS standings, [...]
