Jennings to Vikes; Crabtree to Bucs;Jones to Titans?;Francois resigned;Hawk restructures

Signed a 5 yr deal for 9.5 per year.

I think I read 18M guaranteed.

This guy had a chip on his shoulder the whole year.....in his press conference it seems he was peeved at the fact that the Packers had so many other guys that he had to share the ball with. Well that's too bad Greg.

He should have taken the 10m (althought I don't know the length) from the Pack and shut his mouth.

Hey Greg, did you ever hear of Alvin Harper? He was the receiver who left the Cowboys right around when they started their great SB runs. He went to Tampa for the $$$ and was never heard from again.

Same thing is going to happen here. I just didn't like his comments and his attitude all year. I think he still saw himself as being 'enslaved'. Eff him.

As for Crabtree, hate to see him go. A lunch-pale kind of guy. We non tendered him and got burned. I think Ryan Taylor should be ready to step into his shoes. Good luck Tom.

Brad Jones is close to a deal with the Titans. We'll hear more today. Good luck Brad.

Rob Francois was resigned for one year, so I figure they know Jones is already gone. He wanted to say put but had them promise he'll get a chance to play some defense next year.

AJ Hawk agrees to restructure his contract and take a pay cut.....to stay with the team. These are the guys you want, who really want to be with the team. Hawk figures he already made more money than he could ever dream, he's not greedy.

It's hard for me to get too pissed off at Jennings. I always thought he was very likable and one of the more entertaining Packers. He wore his heart on his sleeve. His comments and actions on the sidelines at the Super Bowl were some of the defining moments of the drama.

I thought his interview on balance was actually reasonable for those kinds of things. Of course he had to say good things about the Vikings, so I don't fault him for pouring on the syrup there. Reading between the lines, you're right, you could tell he was a little stung about not being "the man" in Green Bay anymore, but I also think that speaks positively about his competitive nature. I wish him well... but not too well since he's going to the Vikings.

The bottom line is that I'm glad we didn't cough up that kind of money for a position we're already stocked in! It's a back-handed concept, but we win in free agency if our competitors overpay in free agency because that will cause them weaknesses in other areas.

I'm sorry to hear Crabtree leave too but I agree Taylor must be ready to step in.

The linebacker moves make sense. Glad Hawk had the sense to restructure.

Looks like TT has freed up a fair amount of cap space. Let's see what he's going to do with it.

Hawk has been the most grossly overpaid Packer his entire tenure in Green Bay. Just an incredibly poor value from Day One. If TT handled all his players like he has handled Hawk, he'd have been out of a job by now. I can't wait until that load is out of the organization for good. I'm so fucking tired of him. True Packer my fucking ass.
