Now if someone said bengals Anthony Collins is available panthers are interested, I could believe that because the guys looking for around 4-6 mill for a starting job whereas Albert, Veldheer, Monroe are looking for big big money.

 

The good news for us is that with all these top tier OT's hitting FA the mid/low tier guys are not gonna get overprized deals thrown their way.

Good point. Let Miami and Arizona throw money at the big three tackles, we wil snap up Collins cheap and be able to go draft weapons, wel that's my hope anyway.

If Cyrus and Tiny were not having leg problems, then there would be even more OT's in the draft and that could help to hold down the big dollars coming their way, same with WR's.  We should be able to pick up a good WR on the cheap.  Afraid others will out bid us on the OT's.

Drafts deep at OT, hurst,mewhort,henderson,williams,moses. And more names I probably can't remeber, we should pickup a new tackle as late as the fourth round, a mid ranked free agent will be available for us to replace gross, he was at a $4mil cap, collins from bengals would probably be same sort of figure in my opinion.

Agreed, mentioned this in the top NFL free agents thread.  Although, I don't think Collins can be had for less than 7 mill per.

Compared to Albert, Monroe and Veldheer he's probably ranked fourth best out of the tackle group? So he's probably more realistic without breaking the bank, we can talk to him and other free agents now up until Friday evening but can make an official offer until 11th, I'd be happy with anyone of the top four tackles on FA, would take so much pressure of the draft.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
