Wouldn't put too much money into it, we never spend much on FAs.

I saw the article, but who are we gonna spend it on?

We resign Shields.
Raji is gone.
Finley is gone.

Now who do we sign in FA?

Jairus Byrd?
Brian Orakpo?
Greg Hardy?

Just don't see any of these guys. Jairus Byrd would be baller as fuck tho...

Not sure he fits the scheme tho, our DE's aren't bad. (Rushing wise)

Impressed by Mike Daniels, Upcoming Datone. But yeah, I just can't see these signings though..
Maybe Whitner if he doesn't resign.

Idk tho, I like Ha Ha, would like to see him in a Green Bay Uniform. Some of that BAMA D!

i don't see it either but it gives us something to think about other than the draft at least.

From Total Access: I’m told #Packers plan to spend money on outside free agents this year with nearly $30M in cap space. Could most in years

For real tho hahaha

Steven Jackson curse is REAL. Hasn't ever been on a winning team. Poor guy...

I'm not getting my hopes up for any FA's, and if we sign one. Yay! Then I'll get excited, otherwise, I'll be calm cool and collective.

We may bring in a like... 3rd tier FA veteran. We will not spend big. Every year Packers fans have this discussion. Money or not, it's not the way Ted operates. Maybe a guy in his late 20's or early 30's that is under-valued and can give us 3-4 years of solid play. Orakpo is 100% not happening. Byrd is 100% not happening.

While it's rare, it isn't unheard of. I wouldn't be too surprised to see them sign a big FA, especially if they let Raji walk and cut Tramon. It's definitely crazy to expect to sign both Byrd and Orakpo though.
