Nothing. Not sure if he is still eligible for a comp pick but even if he is the Bears signed enough other dudes to cancel it out.

Edit Bears matched offer sheet on Fuller already. 4 year 56 mil deal with 18 guaranteed.

also Vikings released Jarius Wright. Not really sure why. He’s been a reliable target and popular with the team. maybe they’re trying to clear space for another move but even then the cap savings is only ~$2.5m.

I don't understand why they didn't wait the full five days to tie up the Packers cap space. If they wait, the Packers can't really do poo poo in free agency for five days.

I love that Pace has done everything I wanted this offseason and he's still managed to annoy me.

It's because they're all in. I like Jarius Wright and some team is going to get a good #2 wr on the cheap but he was like the fourth guy on this roster and they'd rather spend the money on signings like Richardson who will see the field more often, I assume. I thought it would be for Mathieu but he's apparently going to Houston. It'll be another defensive player though I'm pretty certain. Who is left who would fit?

drat. I hope Jarius lands somewhere good. He's from my old high school. Still kinda sad about Greg Childs never panning out... but his knees were already blown before he was even drafted.

they aren’t up against the cap at all, though. They still had like $10m in cap even after accounting for their draft picks. we’re about to hit the third wave of FA and no one left is going to command a ton of money. I’d expect any additional moves by the Vikings just to be extensions.

i mean, i get that Wright’s production wasn’t
worth $4m. just surprised me to see him released right now without any clear need for the cap space or a change in the WR corps.

Maybe losing Wolf might have turned out to be a good thing if it meant we're keeping Russ Ball because that's a really good contract for the Packers.

Boy I really hope Pettine knows what he's doing with this secondary and/or that Jones/Brice develops as expected.

The Packers have plenty of cap room remaining but not many free agents remaining to use it on.

I'm actually not too worried about getting a cb or safety since we have a ton of draft picks. More important is generating a pass rush which I feel can be done schematically with the talent we have. There were too many plays where CBs were burned the last few years because the opposing qb got too much time, or felt zero pressure. I feel like Capers was the cause of most of the problems and I hope Pettine is the answer.

Yeah given how long it takes for cbs to develop its a little nerve wracking how depleted things are getting back there. Are there any remaining dbs worth keeping an eye open for anymore? What do you guys think about kicking the tires on a guy like DRC and seeing what he's got left in the tank? I've heard a lot of talk on the radio about brining house back but man, I think I'd rather see them take a shot with Cromartie. At least he would bring some decent experience with him even if he's not the player he once was

Man, if the Lions can pick up Hankins as well and get a good edge rusher in the draft, the defense might actually be good again. And so long as the offense doesn't fall apart, the Lions might actually be... good? :psyduck:

over the last couple weeks I've actually come around on our cornerback situation and think that signing someone like Eric Reid to be a hybrid cornerback/safety/linebacker, drafting a corner/rusher in the first, and then leaning on our front seven to pressure the quarterback will be just fine. Clinton-Dix is fine at FS, Brice/Josh Jones should be fine for SS

Reid should come cheaper than Burnett and waddling idiots getting angry at his kneeling is a plus in my book.

I'm hoping that a large part of that was Dom capers being inept and that haha can rebound with a better scheme. It is concerning though. Also our depth in the backfield is going to be so paper thin that any injury to king or dix is going to be brutal.

I'm more optimistic about Pettine than I was about another year of capers, but I think it's going to be another year of getting torched in the backfield if the pass rush can't get home.
