This might be the first — and maybe only — time I say this, but thank you to the Minnesota Vikings. Thank you for swooping in and signing Gus Frerotte to a free agent contract. Thank you for removing the specter of Frerotte pacing the sidelines at Lambeau Field, at least until opening weekend when […]

Quinn Gray signed with the Houston Texans yesterday, which leaves Gus Frerotte as the only free agent quarterback left on the market who has visited the Green Bay Packers. I’ll admit it, I am officially scared right now.
Frerotte has also visited with the Minnesota Vikings, though, so let me make an impassioned plea to Zygmunt […]

The long wait is over for the Green Bay Packers to make a move in free agency: Brandon Chillar has signed with the team. Ted Thompson signed the former Rams linebacker to a two-year deal worth somewhere north of $5 million.
It seems like forever ago that Chillar’s name first came up as a free agent […]

The past couple days the pool of free agent quarterback “talent” shrank by two when Joey Harrington re-signed with the Falcons, the team that cut him a couple weeks ago, and David Carr got plucked off the street by the Giants. Thankfully now those two are off the market and we can’t stop worrying about […]

Ted Thompson so far in free agency has been sending out feelers to mostly defensive players, but it sounds like he might finally be showing some interest in the offense. The Journal Sentinel is reporting today that Green Bay has some interest in tight end Kris Wilson, most recently with the Kansas City Chiefs.
What’s interesting […]

The Randy Moss hysteria barely had time to get up a good head of steam before coming to an end today. The Patriots finally came through with a three-year, $27 million deal today after his brief and relatively quite testing of the waters.
The Boston Herald (by way of CSTB) had an interesting take today on […]
The rumor mill grinds on.
Andy at packergeeks makes an intriguing proposal that Ted Thompson should make a play for running back Warrick Dunn, who was released today from the Falcons. Dunn would be starting his 12th NFL season, which might not sound too enticing to TT, but for the right price it could be a […]
There’s been some discussion out there about Green Bay’s free agency plans with respect to the gaping hole at tight end. A few of those discussions have revolved around former Falcons TE Alge Crumpler. Those discussions can now turn to other prospects because Crumpler has agreed to a deal with the Tennessee Titans.
Meanwhile, it sounds […]

I though when Randy Moss signed with the Patriots last year that we were finally done with any rumors about The Ratio joining Green Bay, but now that the Pats are dragging their feet to re-sign their free agent receiver, it looks like round two has started.
Adam Schefter with the NFL Network says that Moss […]

It’s crazy time in the NFL again. With free agency in full swing there are crazy deals being made for players and crazier rumors being circulated among fans.
Packer Nation is hardly immune, with some of chatter out there saying Green Bay should make a trade for Jason Taylor. Yes, an 11-year veteran defensive end is […]
