Dont want to extend him now? Fine. But is his play deemed so deficient that he needs replacing *now* - so we can save a few bucks - when we're not in cap hell? It's all about how much cap room you want to release, how high you want to swing at the vet FA fences. Linsley being cut saves plenty of money. You don't lose him to 'save a few bucks', not unless you at least have a compelling plan on what you mean to do with those bucks instead. I wouldn't do it in reality (though I did let him go in my mock), but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to the pinch in football matters. As for Bulaga, one thing that is little discussed is the risk the Packers take if they let him leave and go for his replacement. Any new guy there could bomb. The risk is real and significant, just as there is an injury risk if he is retained, the risk is there either way.

I do think that Veldheer is better in this offense compared to Bulaga. Rodgers says that he wants Veldheer back.

If you were right, he's going to have over a dozen different job opportunities this off season and is going to command a lot more money than we're currently assuming.

I thought Kris Richard might be LaFleur's pick, but Jerry Grey is a quality option for sure. He's been a DC at a few different spots, so when it comes to experience there probably were not better option available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though on the other hand they've had quite a few high draft picks that havent worked great at CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Wonder if Gute would make a play for another RFA Bear again. Bears might be in a predicament with Nick Williams being an UFA coming off a 6-sack season if a team gives a deal to Robertson-Harris. He's restricted but the Bears might have to let him walk if they resign Williams. I'd take either one of them on our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Matt LaFleur really is doing the Monica firing Joey plan in 2020. Gonna wait for the first time Pettine allows a 200 yard rushing or receiving game and then will pull the trigger for the mid season boost.

ChaRisMa Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Does anyone know if Derek Watt was any good for the Chargers? I see snap count is about 120 for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
