I'm with you - it's about to get really interesting again for a while. Good thing too - we were starting to run low of crap to discuss, LOL.

Jeff Saturday was signed on March 23, 2012 so about a month before the draft. Good guess though (he wasn't signed in the first week of the draft).

skibrett15 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 @CWood21 now I see why you locked the old draft discussion thread: Quote Posted February 12 On 2/12/2018 at 4:12 PM, skibrett15 said: It's just the money. Why would they be the 4th corner anyway? If we sign someone before the draft, they would slot in as the #1/#2 outside corner. You could say that's the #2/#3 corner behind Randall and maybe King... but the vet who signs is gonna play outside and therefore make outside corner money. Or is the conversation about signing house AND another corner? The argument was made that the Packers should bring in TWO veteran corners, not just one. So let's say Davon House and Trumaine Johnson. Would Davon House re-sign with Green Bay knowing that he's most likely the 4th CB moving forward? Trumaine Johnson is one of the starting boundary corners, and until the Packers go into the nickel Damarious Randall is probably the other boundary corner. So it's essentially coming down to Kevin King and Davon House for that nickel corner. Given the investment the Packers made in King, he figures to be in the long-term plans which gives the Packers more incentive to play him. Anyway, the point made that Davon wouldn't re-sign as 4th corner was well made, but now he is exactly that with Williams and King and Alexander on board. So was his market just way too soft (he took the minimum). I guess you can make the case that he could beat out Tramon, but Tramon is making a LOT more money than House.

Packerraymond Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Our 2nd round pick will signal where our remaining money is going. Get a WR and you're probably looking at a Dumervil, Barwin, Brooks type signing, get the EDGE and hopefully it's Maclin or Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldnt know the GBPs future draft plans. C. He'll have to compete for his spot - or be back on the market looking to find a niche with another team. So, unless he was considering multiple offers (highly unlikely) and decided to sign with GB, I dont see a downside to his decision - other than the team is refortifying the position and making his roster spot a harder get. But - thats what competition is all about. Competition and (potential) injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But - thats what competition is all about. Competition and (potential) injuries. All true. Might have been right before you joined here, but there was a lot of pushback on here from some (CWood) that the packers might go out and sign 2 corners. From their perspective, House would be dumb to sign here where he's the 4th corner, assuming we go out and get a high priced FA corner as well. After the Randall trade, that thinking became less strong. In the end I think we got House, who I consider a viable 3rd corner, at a 4th/5th corner price. We got Tramon Williams, who I consider a viable 3rd corner, at a 2nd corner/expensive 3rd corner price. So, in the end it's a bit of a wash with our corner situation. Now, with Alexander on board, all of it is a bit moot. We have King and we have Alexander, and the rest will sort itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically - I want this "CB issue" to get killed off for awhile. I'm tired of needing to snag more and more CB's with top draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
