Two packers related bits of news:

Guion's deal with the Packers is for 900k and one year. I don't have a ton of faith that he'll show much or be an addition, but hey. He's basically free and the Packers have some openings on the defensive line with Pickett and Jolly as FAs.

Marshall Newhouse is visiting the Bengals. He was a decent swing tackle at one point but looked awful last year. Probably some of that was due to playing out of position at RG but whoof. He has experience and is young at least.

I also expect John Kuhn to return at this point on a one year deal. Nothing concrete there, just that no other team's going to give him as much as the Packers and they have no other FBs on the roster. Also the longer Jermichael Finley goes unsigned, the more likely it is that he's done with football. I really hope his neck's good enough to play for anyone next season.

I had put it earlier, but it got lost in the Revis signing. Essentially for this year, Jarius Byrd is being paid the same that Darren Sproles would've been.

Here's how the Saints signed Byrd.

http://espn.go.com/blog/new-orleans...gainst-2014-cap

Byrd received a signing bonus of $11 million on the six-year, $54 million contract. But for salary-cap accounting purposes, that figure gets divided over the first five years of his deal. His first-year salary is $1.3 million.

He will then count close to $10 million against the Saints' cap over the final five years of his deal -- assuming he lasts the entire six years (never a safe assumption in today's NFL).

Byrd, 27, will receive a total of $20.3 million in fully-guaranteed money over the first three years, plus another $6 million that is guaranteed for injury only. He's due to make a total of $27.9 million over the first three years -- which is always the key time frame on deals like this, since those years are virtually guaranteed.

Here's the breakdown:

2014: $1.3 million salary, $3.5 million cap number

2015: $2 million salary, $6 million guaranteed roster bonus, $100,000 workout bonus, $10.3 million cap number

2016: $7.4 million salary, $100,000 workout bonus, $9.7 million cap number

2017: $8.6 million salary, $100,000 workout bonus, $10.9 million cap number

2018: $8.6 million salary, $100,000 workout bonus, $10.9 million cap number

2019: $8.6 million salary, $100,000 workout bonus, $8.7 million cap number

Pretty sure any trade for Jackson would involve a new contract, which has to depress his market. He wants a new deal and as you noted, that's an ugly cap hit to take.

Which would definitely explain why they're willing to take a 3rd round pick for him. He's worth more than that if it weren't for the necessary re-signing. There was a time when I'd be yelling for the Packers to jump on this but WR is almost the rock bottom of our need list these days, even with Jones going to Oakland (I'll miss Jones though :( Hope you do good with the Raiders, mr. turtleneck).

e: Also, why hasn't anyone taken a flyer on Avant on the cheap yet? I mean, he's nothing special but he's practically a guaranteed 500 yards a year out of the slot. I know he's gonna be 31 soon but still, is he just asking for too much money?

I think just the fact that he wants to be paid even more per year than he's already being paid will make it extremely difficult to find a trade partner.

I will lose my loving mind if DJax gets traded for a third round pick. If its to the Patriots or the 49ers.. :suicide:

Still working on numbers but sounds like a one year deal for Melton with a club option for 3 other years if performs well.

I'll be interested to see the terms. I doubt he's making bank.

If that hit to the cap mentioned earlier was true (and I understand these things, which is unlikely) I don't think they could even afford him.

I would be really happy with avant in Carolina. He's nothing special but at least he's experienced enough to recognise coverage and sure handed enough to bail cam outta trouble. Maybe in the coming days when the britt and cotchery stuff cools down.

I love to get Jackson but the team couldn't afford to outbid Indy for Nicks no shot they take him.
