Very fair deal for Rasul.  Win win.  Surprised that someone didn't offer him crazy money.  MVS would be nice to bring back for sure.  Role player tho.  He's not a complete receiver could live without him if we had too.  King is still out there.  Yes I know he's made of glass but when healthy he's still pretty good.  Pack might bring him back as well.  He could be really cheap.

Ryan Wood -  Rasul Douglas does not play slot. Neither does Eric Stokes. Jaire Alexander can play slot — he can play anywhere — but with that shoulder?

Chandon Sullivan plays slot.  Any word on him?  He hasn't signed to my knowledge, and the way a lot of contracts have been going, he's not going to get paid a lot.  No, he's not Jaire, but that's why he's not going to get paid like Jaire either.  If he hasn't gotten much interest, I'd support bringing him back on a fair but very modest deal.  Maybe you can replace him with an Innis Gaines and you'll like it...  but there's a chance you'll wish you hadn't....

As always, waiting to see the structure of it but have to imagine that it's a reasonable deal all the way around.  Rasul Douglas gets a sizeable paybump, and the Packers probably have security if it was a fluke.  Thought that 3 years, $24M was what his agent should have set the asking price at, so not surprised there might be a small discount there.  Think that Chidobe Awuzie contract is probably the comp there.  Something like $4.5M signing bonus but a bit more backloaded.  Think @Packerraymond is in the ballpark with the $4M cap hit this year.

There we go...

Tom Silverstein -   Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with TE Robert Tonyan. Includes a voidable year.

Tonyan is recovering from a torn ACL and will need time to get back on the field, but he should be back for second half of the season. New deal will allow him to be a free agent again next year, source said.
