2019 Packers Off Season Thread - Cut Day Saturday

I'm sure we're paying through the nose, given the price tags we're seeing around the league. Oh well. I like that they can truly go BPA at #12.

I love that hes only 26 and had 8.5 sacks on a stacked D in his situational role. Can he be more than that tho or are we bringing him in to be what he already is?

On a side note; Kinda weird to me Baltimore is dismantling the way they are. That division is wide open now with the Bengals being a joke, Pittsburgh taking a step back and Cleveland still being a work in progress. Wonder why Baltimore didnt have the opposite approach and want to bring in more talent to be in better position to win the division. I suppose they can regardless but that D has taken a significant hit so far.

Smith is super talented, versatile, and was situational due to the Ravens’ insistence on milking every ounce of the Terrell Suggs legacy. This signing is really really good. He’a also a relatively fresh body due to limited PT. He will see a significant rise in snaps w Pettine and this contract.

Amos deal is supposedly 5yrs/20 mil with 5mil guaranteed. If that's legit, he is the steal of free agency so far.

Zadarius is getting 16 mil per season

Nick Perry is gone, right? At least I read it on Twitter.

It's expensive, but they were going to have to choose whether they wanted to get involved in the market at this level or try and wait it out TT style. Looks like Gute made his choice.

Smith was the guy I really wanted. Love both of these signings. Now they can draft BPA.

These pass rusher just get at least 1.5 mil a sack. Is what it is. That's why it's such a big deal to hit on these guys in the draft.

Perry has to be gone. This should give us the money to keep Matthews and Wilkerson hopefully

I'm fine with the price tag. We wanted to finally be involved and this is what it takes.

This was just tweeted by Josina Anderson from ESPN:

Josina Anderson of ESPN reports one of the following teams "has a good likelihood" of signing Le'Veon Bell today: Jets, Colts, Ravens, Packers, Texans, Bills.

A safety who can tackle and doesn't **** up constantly.... I won't even know what I'm watching back there it's been so long since we've had one of those.

Smith is expensive but that's just the way it is with pass rushers. Like that they are getting his prime age range with the deal. Hope it works out.

These two signing make the draft more interesting because now damn near everything is on the table with those first couple of picks. Still need to add to the Edge group but now they don't need to do it right away if the right guy isn't there.

Edit: oh now they are signing Preston Smith too. They aren't messing around on the Edge in FA.

from PFF:

Adrian Amos Jr. lined-up as a Free Safety on 62.5% of defensive snaps in 2018. For his career 58.7% of his snaps as a FS.

Overall grade ranks by season as a Safety (reg season):
2018 8th
2017 3rd
2016 25th
2015 27th

I cant handle all this news right now....lol

Matches Malone · Post #479 » by **Matches Malone** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:28 pm

WE GOT BOTH SMITHS! I'M SO **** HARD RIGHT NOW!

neiLz · Post #480 » by **neiLz** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:31 pm

pack had about 35 mil in space - 16 for smith, 5 for Amos (if reports are 4 yrs 20 mil), how much for preston? If P. Smith is around 5 or so, and they cut perry they still have some space to go after another player!
