There're accurate. It's just real money and not cap hits. Only matters to the player getting the money earlier, means nothing to the team.

No, I mean the tweet doesn't differentiate between what is the signing bonus and what is the salary and other various bonuses.

Interesting read for all the chatter about Free Agents not wanting to play in Green Bay. Agents highlight not the small market but more to do with only a 3.5% African American population in Green Bay as the reason it's harder to get Free Agents there as they feel that could create a "hostile" environment. However, they followed that up with "Once they get there they end up falling in love with everything about the place."

I know you're both on cloud nine since we signed so many free agents, but here's more smoke.

Also, I remember getting copious amounts of grief over Zach Brown by saying that he's played for three teams so there has to be something wrong with him.  The Redskins just cut him after by all accounts a great season.  He's probably Lavar Arrington/Jamie Collins or something because three teams don't fail to retain/cut a player as good as Brown has looked.

Uhh, I don’t think anyone is stating that GB is the top free agent destination. We’re saying free agents will come to GB if they’re offered $. Furthermore, this article provides evidence that there are worse places ranked by agents. And on top of that looks like a lot of free agents signed in the worse ranked places (Buffalo, cleveland, Detroit) because of money. 

And furthermore, GB got votes as a top destination while voted a less desirable  too , just like NE. It’s almost as if some people have different opinions than others on where they’d like to play. Who would have thought?

Agian, the lesson learned is money talks.

The coaches benched him for being sick during practice or something and he tweeted about it.
Sounds like he didn't really like it there. Would definitely be down to bring him in.

We're somewhere in the middle, 1 upvote, 3 down votes. Don't think anyone would expect anything more than that. We're up against Miami, we're going to have to pay more. Doesn't mean we can't win.

Good signing for the Ravens.  He will do extremely well there.  Being tied to Thomas for 4 years is a little more than i would have liked.  Would have been elated with a 2 year deal of up to 16 million per, but 33, 34... Too old to be paying top money to.

We probably were not interested in $32m guaranteed. The base number isn't bad, but too rich for us at this point anyways. 

On to the second tier guys to patch a few more holes, then draft time.
