Total dream here but my free agent signing would be LaRon Laundry... even if Nick Collins comes back or hybrid nickel or dime would be insane with Tramon Charles Nick Burnett LaRon and Sam.
And then draft Andre Branch the OLB from Cleson. Just watched clips of his pro day and wow the kid looked awesome. Plus his combine numbers were outstanding. |

Ted will not make a move until he is convinced we won't lose the compensatory draft pick for Flynn. If you are expecting any moves in Free Agency, you better start praying Grant or Walden get a contract offer somewhere.

if you consider those guys FAs then i guess. one is on the team now but a FA and the other has spent 3 years with the team and one season out of the league.

Good point. Realistic. We all should know better than this by now.
Brodrick Bunkey might be available and I put him in an off-season mock already. I've seen others have him too.
Of course, I would bet A LOT against it happening with us. Still, just saw this:
| Quote: |
Green Bay -- The Packers' defense didn't take a step back solely due to the loss of Cullen Jenkins and Nick Collins. Some of their best players didn't play at their 2010 form. In a recent study by ProFootballFocus.com, B.J. Raji ranked dead last in the NFL -46th of 46 interior defensive linemen who played at least 200 snaps in run defense. Raji played plenty of end, as the article notes, but had a run-stop percentage of 2.4%.
There are several factors. Raji, as much as any player, was affected by Cullen Jenkins leaving in free agency. He played nearly 80% of the defensive snaps in 2011. Maybe moving back and forth at the nose and the 3-technique affected his play. Looking back, Raji was more effective outside than inside. Too often at the nose, he was stood up. Whatever the case, the Packers probably have bigger concerns to worry about on defense than Raji, who did make the Pro Bowl.
Denver's Brodrick Bunkley (11.3%) and the New York Jets' Sione Pouha (10.2%) led the interior linemen on PFF's rankings. The former Packer Jenkins finished fourth (9.1%).
Meanwhile, amongst the 3-4 defensive ends, Ryan Pickett finished 13th of 23 players at 6.3% in PFF's run-stop percentage. |

Laundry with Burnett if Collins doesn't come back would be best case scenario for the Packers post-Collins. Never, EVER going to happen but we can dream.

I am not sure any teams will make a long term commitment to Landry because he is coming off a serious injury and his exat return date is not really known at this time. He may have to sign a short term deal and TT might bite if it looks like Collins won't be back. TT will sign a center and my guess it will be Wells in the end, and I won't be surprised if TT makes another move in free agency because he knows the Packers are that close to being there again. |

That's exactly the type of guy that TT will pursue (if he goes after anyone at all). The Packers don't pay for their starters, but will find the high value guys deeper in free agency - guys who everyone else overlooks for whatever reason. That way, they usually come relatively cheap, and if they can play a role, great, if not, they don't impact the bottom line.
I'll preface this part with the admission that I don't know Carriker from Adam - I don't watch much of the Skins or Rams, so I can't rely on personal knowledge. My big worry with Carriker would be why did he blossom last year? Is he a contract year warrior? What sacrifices did he make to get his sacks? And were those sacrifices so that he could improve his "sexy" stat line, or was it a coaching change? Was he as solid against the run last year as he was the year before?
Everything I have read about Carriker looks good on paper - career slowed by injuries, but not the nagging, recurring kind, high effort, high character guy. I guess I just don't understand why he'd be so lowly regarded among NFL evaluators. |

Not that I think it will happen, but I'd like TT to explore what it would cost to bring Tolbert to Green Bay.
He's very good in pass protection, has great hands as a checkdown option, or receiver in the flats, and has the size and power to bull rush in on short yardage plays. He'd not only force teams respect the run, but would also ensure teams had to leave a few men in the box when Rodgers drops back - as Tolbert is easily capable of picking up 1st downs on short passes.
He's likely going to be too expensive for TT, but I think he'd be an ideal complement to the high-powered passing game. |

| Not sure where all the Landry love is coming from; maybe because of the big hits? I live in the DC area and the fans are pretty much done with him here. He can't cover worth a damn and is often injured. |

Yeah, I think I'd rather have Peprah right now. |

Whoa! That's the worst insult you can give someone!

I think the big reason that Carriker is overlooked is because he bombed out of Stl really badly. People remember massive failures much more than they do moderate successes. Also, any team that runs a 4-3 should avoid him, because he did so badly in that fit. There aren't many 3-4 teams, and even fewer need to bring in an end.
If the price is right, I'd like to see us make a move for him.
As for Landry, I don't get it. The guy can't cover worth a dime and he's maxed out his frame to the point that he's a time-bomb for injuries. I'd lament the day we signed him. Unless there is a player named "Laundry" somewhere that I haven't heard about  Speaking of which, my whites are done..

i would love this signing. he could be a William Henderson type FB who puts another receiver on the field but can do all the RB duties well.
heard that Wimbley is probably going to be released from Oakland. would probably cost to much but would solve the OLB problem while we develop younger options.
a free season of Tolbert and Wimbley would be a crazy offseason for TT.
