As I said when free agency started the FAKE NEWS put out by
the Trump...er...Thompson Administration made everyone salivate thinking about
the quick fixes The Ted was going to sign to fix the Packers defense. Everyone
took the feelers sent out by Trump....er....Thompson as gospel truth, except
me, and once again the fools got fooled.
Going into the free agency the top positions needing
attention were on defense. with cornerback, outside linebacker and inside
linebacker the top positions. Running back and offensive line and the
re-signing of tight end Jared Cook were the priorities on offense.
First The Ted went on a spending spree with his $43,568,612
cap room by signing 3 of his own free agents, former No. 1 pick bust Nick Perry
to a 5 yr. $59 million dollar contract, current bust at left and right tackle
Don Barclay to a 1 yr. $1.3 million dollar contract and the day before
re-signing punter Jacob Schum to an undisclosed contract presumed to be worth
$615,000.
So before free agency began outside linebacker was
shored up with the re-signing of Perry and his team-leading 11 sacks, but it
became unshored when Julius Peppers and his 7.5 sacks left to return to the
Panthers.
The offensive line was shored up if you think Barclay
is a good player, but it became unshored when center JC Tretter signed with the
Browns and today when former Pro Bowl right guard T.J. Lang signed with the
Lions.
