Don't count on that.... he does come with a lot of baggage ... many teams would give it a shot... many won't.

I think you are overplaying the issues. But the Giants would never give him up for a 3rd round pick. That would be hilariously stupid.

TE to me is about the last position I see needing to sign another FA, draft one to develop, but Graham, Kendricks and Player to be drafted later should be just fine.

Walford WOULD be a TE to develop. The guy is what, 25? Most tight ends don't hit their peaks until they're late 20's.

I'm hoping that Kendricks will have a bigger impact this season. Had Rodgers not been injured, we may have seen him come on stronger towards the end of last season. Cook and Rodgers took awhile to establish chemistry and I think we will see that happening with Graham at the beginning of the season as well.

Hopefully Rodgers and Graham will establish chemistry early this season. Otherwise the passing game might struggle out of the gate.

Give me Julio Jones please. He would be worth a first and a 3rd round. Rodgers might even wet his pants after that trade.

Unfortunately there's no reason for the Falcons to consider trading him though.

ANY and EVERY team would give a 3rd for him, lol, but not many would/could pay what he's asking for.

You have to consider Beckham's price tag when acquiring him though. Therefore there would be several teams not interested in giving up a third rounder for him.

Where did this idea come from? Jones' cap number is only $39 mil over the next 3 years, and there are low dead cap exits all along the way if he enters decline. This is exactly the contract position you want with an All Pro WR at age 29 who has shown no decline to date.

Matt Ryan can't find him in the end zone? I think the problem is on that other end of the pass-catch equation.

Not House.

I know a lot of people don't want to see House back and yeah, we wasn't a smashing success last year, but he was also injured. Packers might slowly run out of FA options and have to bring guys like House in just to make sure they aren't relying on draft picks or guys with no experience. Personally, I'm fine bringing House back on a very low end, no or minimal guarantees. If he can't win a spot, you cut him.

Y'all ain't even talking about the beat one in Breaux.

Yup, Breaux is coming to Green Bay for an interview. I'm not that excited about a guy that has only played in 6 games over the last 2 seasons, but he was good in 2015, so who knows.

His injuries aren't that big of a deal imo.

Non-ligament injuries, and a misdiagnosis that caused him to miss more time than necessary and got some people fired.

If you look at this 2015 tape, he would be the very best FA CB out there. He's big, and fast, and good, and we can get him cheap.

Interesting possibility if healthy.

If you ended up adding him and DRC to end out the offseason it would be pretty nice. Some tall corners to match King along with Tramon Williams as well makes for a really nice secondary. You could even draft a guy like Hughes in the second possibly to really boost up the secondary if it made sense on the board.

They haven't named any names but it seems they have some names of guys that will possibly become available during and post draft that they could have interest in. It is just good to know they aren't done yet.
