MacReady Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-press-release/article-1/Packers-sign-G-Taylor-to-contract-extension/fd0cd701-58b7-4f1c-bc5f-c2176c684a2d http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/04/packers-sign-lane-taylor-to-contract-extension/ So much for that high IOL in the draft. More like a high LOL. Lol. I'll see myself out. Update: 3 years, 16.5 million with a 5 million signing bonus. This staff of ours got something out of nothing with yet another interior offensive lineman nobody expected anything from. The trend continues. I'll stop gloating eventually.

MNPackfan32 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 3yr, 16.5M. Not bad. Hopefully he continues to get better. He was brutal the first few times he saw action, but had a pretty decent year last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Congrats to Taylor and now at least 1 OG is set for 2018 and beyond. Certainly not a fan-favorite, but he's getting the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Kind of an unsung hero. Had a great season last year and it was almost as if noone noticed Sitton was even gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Linsley and Evans not still FAs? Are you plugging McCray and Patrick in as starters? IOL is a huge need for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betcha 20 bucks I'll be saying something similar to you this time next year, but every time I'm proven right it's somehow a different circumstance or everybody forgets we were in the exact same situation earlier, multiple times.

The draft was awful for OL this year. That's why we made the moves we made. It was brilliant strategy. We had holes in the secondary and it was a once in a decade draft for DBs. We patched the OL with a capable vet. If the 2018 draft is weak on OL, we should do it again, of it's not, I expect us to double dip on days 2/3.

I'll bet you a like and an admittance of being dead wrong we don't take an interior offensive lineman in the first three rounds regardless of who is available in the 2018 draft. Hell, I'll even add the fourth round. Double hell, fifth round, too. Stipulation being that they didn't play tackle in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Taylor got a $ 5 million signing bonus...gotta be cool to look up your checking account balance and it says: $ 3, 258, 463. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
