Oh, yes. Last year agents for players were contacting Gard in January telling him that if the Badgers were interested their player would go in the portal. I guarantee the same is happening this year. Storr, Tonje, Boyd... they know they can come to UW and blossom.

Walker for some reason chose an agent who only has three other clients, the most of whom any are making is $4M/year. I wonder if his agent blew it and if he had higher offers but the agent was trying to get him to hold out for a contract like Dan Moore.

Went to Costco last night around 8pm to grab a couple of things when I thought checkout would be quick. The self-checkout line was unusually long, but walking by it appeared that there were a couple of checkout stations that were open but nobody using them. Grabbed a couple of things, looked for another I couldn't find, and the line is still long, but there clearly are stations that are open. Turns out there are three Costco employees scanning the items in carts with a hand scanner before people get to self checkout. What is this? Finally gets to me and I ask what they are doing. Guy says "pre-scanning". What the hell is that? I look at the guy and say, "How does this make the checkout process more efficient? Because there are open stations where people can be checking out right now." He says I don't have to "pre-scan" and can use an open station. "Thank you", and walk right past a couple of people getting "pre-scanned" and check out my two items. I can assume this is some type of way to reduce retail theft to ensure everything that goes through self-checkout gets scanned and paid for. But if it builds a line while there are stations open, it won't last.

Packers signed Hargrave, 2/$23M, per NFL 4th best tackling grade among IDL per PFF

I'm referring to their Packers Twitter/X feed - it compiles tweets/X from many sources including all of the Packers local media coverage, national media, former executives (Andrew Brant, etc.), local media for other teams that mentions the Packers/players, Packers PR, etc. It's the only thing I look at and it is actually very helpful (80% of it at least ) in finding all of that in one place without having to be on X. Their draft coverage and prospect analysis is also very good, and has been among the most accurate of all of the national media over the past several years.

There's some clown podcaster who shows up on the Bleacher Report app's Packers X feed who just b****es about anything and everything the Packers do. I'm not going to name him/them, but when Jenkins was released with a "failed physical" designation, of course he thinks he's smart without doing his research: "First it was 'Rashan Gary was hacked'. Now this? What is going on in Green Bay?" Aside from the fact that Jenkins finished the season on IR with a lower leg fracture and ligament damage that required surgery, clown show, see Maxx Crosby - that is why you designate guys as "failed physical".

Doubs to the Patriots, 4/$70M. $17.5M AAV

Apologies if this is too political, but looking back what happened with Venezuela now seems like a prelude to what is happening in Iran. I don't think Iran happens if they don't secure supply from Venezuela first.

Someone on another board reminded me of one of the reasons that Hobbs was signed and why he got what he got - he is/was very good in run support and is not afraid to hit people. He got kicked out of practice at least once last summer for being overly aggressive with tackling/hitting people. Kind of wish that was also the case with their other corners.
-
Yes, Banks' contract was reworked about a week ago. Salary was converted to signing bonus.
-
Reported that it's a post-June 1st release, so cap hit spread over this year and next. Possibly an indication that they are looking to add more FAs this year. Riq Woolen still available, and there's been some rumors of the Packers talking with him.
-
I was told that if a player doesn't get a second contract with the team who drafted him then he sucks.
-
The son of my sister's neighbors is really good friends with Erickson. Fun fact - Matt's only hit in the majors was off of Greg Maddux when Maddux was on the Cubs. He asked Maddux if he would sign the ball, and Greg obliged. And wrote on it, "Nice hit, f*** face".
-
I think teams are smart enough to see that he was also 101st among CBs in snaps played despite playing 16 games, likely for a reason, and factor that in accordingly.
-
In one of the more curious moves of the last two weeks, Lions starting LT Taylor Decker asked for and received his release. The Lions had asked Decker to take a pay cut. His release saves the Lions $11.6M in cap space, but creates a huge hole. Lions probably going to be looking LT at #17. They aren't going to get one for $11M.
-
Packers formally release Elgton Jenkins.
-
Quay Walker to the Raiders. Was projected to get $14M/year and got $13.5M/year (3 years, $40.5M) with $28M guaranteed. Per Next Gen Stats, Walker's 4.5% missed tackle rate in 2025 was 3rd lowest among LBs with at least 100 tackle attempts. His 28 yards given up after missed tackles was the lowest.

There is a big difference between "having a bad season"/"sucked" and "not worth his contract". He was not worth his contract. But to say that he "had a bad season" is not factually correct. Ranking top 30 in sacks and top 20 in pressures is not a bad season. And did his pressures lead to sacks by others or incompletions? If he truly "had a bad season", nobody would have traded for him. Joe Flacco was 32nd among all QBs in number of times sacked (played 13 games). Aaron Rodgers was 17th. (Jalen Daniels 34th.). Some of those guys are harder to sack than you give them credit for. And if you want to play that game, here is who Parsons sacked: Jared Goff (3.5 times - 8th in # of times sacked) Jalen Daniels (only 1/2 sack, 34th) Dak Prescott (14th) Jacoby Brissett (3 times - 5th) Aaron Rodgers (17th) Jamies Winston (1.5 times - 56th, but only played 3 games) J.J. McCarthy (2 times - 20th, but only played 10 games) That's it. Looks worse than the list of guys Gary sacked. Take out the 6.5 times he sacked Goff (8th) and Brissett (5th), and what do you have? A half sack against Jalen Daniels.

"just 13 pressures, including the playoffs, after the Micah Parsons injury" Parsons was injured halfway through the Broncos game, week 15. They played 4.5 games after Parsons got injured. That means that Gary averaged 2.889 pressures per game after Parsons went down. Over an 18 game season, 2.889 pressures per game amounts to exactly 52 pressures. According to PFF, Gary ranked #18 among 116 edge rushers in pressures in 2025 with 54. He was basically the same player after Parsons' injury as before, he just didn't get any sacks.

Part of their formula is snap % and snaps played. It looks like that is hurting Willis in their projection, but that is because the snap % they are using is retrospective. The actual pick awarded, IIRC, is based on snaps and snap % the season after they sign, which is how GB might get a comp pick for Eric Wilson and Josh Myers. Neither of their contracts signed would have netted them a comp pick, but because they both played such a high % of snaps last season, it boosted their points total to likely in the top 32 and thus the projected comp pick for both of them. Assuming Willis is the starter and gets 90% of snaps (he got 12% of snaps last year with Love's injuries), I wouldn't bet on that being a 4th round pick just yet.

If you're going to sign a FA that will negate a draft pick, you want to make sure it's a player who can be signed to a multi-year deal and is young enough that he can be expected to be a productive player for multiple years. A guy who fits that profile will likely be expensive and may not fit into their cap and/or plans for extending players (Kraft, etc.). Just as you wouldn't trade a 3rd or 4th round pick for a one-year stop-gap, you don't want to sacrifice a 3rd or 4th round comp pick for a one-year guy either. In today's NFL where starting QBs are getting $50M, WR's getting $30M, and guards getting $20M, minimum salary draft picks to fill out a roster and provide quality depth are incredibly valuable assets.
-
Projections are two 3rds (Willis, R. Walker) and two 4ths (Doubs, Q. Walker). That would make three 3rds and four 4ths total. Pretty safe bet that GB will be trading up in 2027.
-
And the Packers usually do not guarantee anything other than the signing bonus. So my guess is that it's really a one-year deal to see if he can improve enough with a full off-season of full-time work at center to warrant a second year. If he gets cut after one year, then it's about a $7.3M cap hit. Not great, but not anything that will cripple them.
-
Not much to write home about this year, but couldn't have written a better way to end the season. Really surprised that the fans didn't storm the court. That's one where a court storming was warranted. Suck it, Hurley.

The 3 amigos with Kaufman-Renn and Smith. So glad all three of those punks are gone. Not sure who pushes off with their forearm more, Smith or Kaufman-Renn.
