Maybe it's my hate for the 9ers, but I hope Lynch fails.
last year he moved back into the first round for Ruben Foster, who everyone knew was a head case.

Now Foster's been arrested twice this off season and his availablility is uncertain.   Then giving Garropolo the huge contract, throwing money at Sherman,    Is Lynch just aggressive or foolish?

Sammy Watkins is getting 3/48 (30 guaranteed) from the Chiefs.

It was Wilson, my bad

Chief expected to sign Watkins.

Brees stays with N.O. 2 years $50 million.

Well it didn't take Cousins long to sign.

I thought he would let the bargaining play out.

When a team offers you a contract that's the highest in NFL history you don't haggle.

Cousins, Rodgers, and Stafford in our division - time to get some defenders.

Until you can beat the teams in your division twice you arent going to  the playoffs. To do that you need a defense and an offense. We have too many unfilled holes now to even escape the cellar in the NFC North.

That nauseates me. He's probably good for 15 TD's in that offense.

Between the Pack having to make Rodgers the highest paid player in NFL history and this signing I am guessing the Packers are hard against the cap and will likely have to let some other players go.

Randall Cob or Jordy Nelson will likely be let go due to cap reasons.  Seems like a wash to me.

Jimmy Graham set to sign with Packer
Posted by Josh Alper on March 13, 2018, 4:24 PM EDT
 
The Packers said they were going to take a different approach to free agency under General Manager Brian Gutekunst and that approach has reportedly yielded its first fruit.

According to multiple reports, the Packers have agreed to terms with tight end Jimmy Graham on a three-year contract. As with all the agreements being struck during the “legal tampering” window, Graham’s deal can’t become official until the start of the new league year on Wednesday afternoon.

The Packers had a vacancy at tight end after last year’s Martellus Bennett signing went south midway through the year and Graham gives Aaron Rodgers a big target to shoot for in the coming season. There’s been speculation that the Packers might move on from either Randall Cobb or Jordy Nelson for cap reasons and the departure of either wideout would make the presence of Graham even more significant.

The Saints were trying to lure Graham back to New Orleans and quarterback Drew Brees mentioned the tight end in his first comments after signing a new deal on Tuesday. They’ll have to look elsewhere for help at tight end as long as Graham’s deal with Green Bay moves forward as planned.

Offense is not the Pack's problem with a healthy Rodgers.  They will go heavy on defense in the draft.

We better re-sign Willie Young - I don't want to see  him in Puke Green next season.   And bring back Acho,  Houston, Unrein...and I like Cunningham too.   And I liked our punter O'Donnel.

Graham hasn't been effective since his NOrleans days.
