2019 Free Agent Discussion


Brit Pack

Recommended Posts

Pettine coached him in Cleveland when he lead the NFL in picks with 6 in 2014 which helped lead to him getting that big contract.

Nathanial Hackett was with him the last two years in Jacksonville as well. 

We should have a idea if he is someone we want or not.

Stop with the Weddle stuff.  He's done. Ravens wouldn't release their interception leader if there was anything left.  You're worried about ET's age? Weddle is four years older and not near the athlete ET is.  If you want one safety then get ET.  If you want two starters then look for Tre Boston and Anthony Harris.

The Packers historically likes to collect compensatory picks however we would lose them if we sign a free agent UNLESS we sign someone who was cut. Peppers is a classic example - he was cut and did not count towards the compensatory formula when we signed him. I suspect after having no comp picks this year that Gute may want to get collect some comp picks for next year. Matthews, Cobb and Breeland could land sizable contracts that could nets us a couple of nice comp picks. So when looking at free agency what we should be looking at are players who were cut so I think this is worth keeping a close eye on.

NFL Cuts List. 

Offense
QB -  Mike Glennon,
RB -  Carlos Hyde,  Daniel Lasco, Alex Collins
FB -

Some names but also a bunch of no-names. This list should improve as we get closer to FA.

Tashaun Gipson is an extremely obvious safety candidate for us. Guaranteed we will throw our hat in the ring.

1. Best years in Pettine system. Proven interception machine.

2. Only 28 years old

5. Lots of NFL experience

4. In a saturated safety market he could be had for an affordable deal

5. Fills major hole at safety.

6. Doesn't count towards compensatory formula.

count me in on younghoe Koo, korean (korean american?) kicker for the AAF team from somewhere as camp competition.

 

Count me in on Hyde and Jamie Collins and Bennett and Malik Jackson and Kevin Johnson.

Do you still want Bennett for 9-10M? In a position he’s never played before. I don’t.

Yeah Gipson should be such an obvious target for us. Unless he doesn't wanna be in Green Bay, no reason that shouldn't be worked out. 

High chance we look his way. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
