be wary of young players the Packers let walk, especially on offense

He is the face of this franchise whether you care to admit it or not.

IMO the @Panthers have had one of the best first weeks of FA.

Good signing by the Panthers to take advantage of the market dropping out on Packers LT Rasheed Walker. Gives them a very high-end insurance policy for Ickey Ekwonu, who's not a sure thing to be back for Week 1, as  he rehabs a torn patellar tendon.

There is the Norfolk Canyon bottom, and then there is the Mariana Trench. 
 

But whatever, I just wanted them to remove the big excuses of a bad OL like we saw happen after 2023. They have given this kid or tried to give him everything you could ask for.  
 

We don’t need to be feeling like we need yet another year of wait and see after 2026. We need to see, now.

that's a marketing a choice. I wouldn't argue that. 

He's undoubtedly the most replaceable player on the offense. That's the opposite of "franchise." 

unless franchise just means to you the guy they trot out for fluff interviews

the people preaching wait and see are not arguing in good faith but i guess we shouldn't be talking about that player in this thread so i apologize for that

Wow he actually pretends to consider week 1 for Icky as realistic?  That is highly questionable judgement right there.

Would love to know what the expectation/plan is for Icky. I'm glad we're not counting on him to return to form. Potential switch to RT to replace Moton long-term?

It certainly gives you options. Walker is by reputation pretty good against speed rushers, something Icky sometimes struggled with.

I saw something a couple of pages back I really had to restrain myself from replying to, on that front. 
 

I typed paragraphs of rebuttal stuff and did not hit send.

the draft is stacked with OL this year, teams may have decided to draft rather than dump a bunch a money into a FA
