Green Bay Packers (official thread)
I searched and didnt find a thread for Green Bay so being the huge Packer fan that I am I decided to start one. If I'm doing this wrong mods please let me know.

INDIANAPOLIS -- With General Manager Ted Thompson spending his first three drafts in Green Bay re-tooling the roster and re-stocking its depth, he helped the Packers recover from a 4-12 record in 2005 to reach the NFC Championship just two years later.

And with the Packers ending 2007 on the cusp of advancing to the ultimate stage, one school of thought is that Thompson might take a different approach in this year's draft. Meaning, rather than focus on taking the "best player available" with each pick, he might target certain needs and see if he can find a draft pick or two to fill them and help put the Packers over the top.

But don't bet on it......

Mike McCarthy Press Conference Transcript - Feb. 22

What are your thoughts on the tight end position without Bubba and how big a need it could be?)
We're very happy with the way Donald Lee played, obviously. Tory Humphrey, we're hoping he'll come back off of his injury. It's an excellent year in the draft, so we'll look to add probably another player or two there. But I thought we did a much better job this year utilizing our tight ends better, with some of the off-the-line things we did schematically, and we'll look to build on that

(Do the tight ends look like a pretty good draft class?)
Preliminary, yeah. Talking with Ted, and I know Ben McAdoo has had limited opportunity to watch them, and we had a couple guys come into our interviews last night. It looks to be a very athletic group..........

Packers Place Franchise Tag On DT Williams, Release TE Franks

The Green Bay Packers have designated defensive tackle Corey Williams as their franchise player and released tight end Bubba Franks. The transactions were announced Wednesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

As the Packers' franchise player, Williams has a one-year contract tender offer at the defensive tackle franchise number set by the NFL. The Packers maintain a right of first refusal to match any team's offer received by Williams.

Williams played in all 16 games, including nine starts, in 2007 and set career highs with 51 tackles and 32 solo stops. He tied his career high with seven sacks..................

MILWAUKEE -- New Packers president Mark Murphy believes Brett Favre will return to Green Bay for another run at the Super Bowl.


"My guess is that he's going to come back," Murphy said Wednesday at a Milwaukee Press Club luncheon. "The team has gotten better around him and is in a position to really do great things next year."


A message left with Favre's agent, Bus Cook, wasn't immediately returned.

Plenty of trades are expected to be announced Friday. The Packers traded franchise defensive tackle Corey Williams to the Browns for a second-round choice. Williams is expected to sign a six-year, $38 million contract........

im not sure if i like this from green bay's point of view but Ill trust the brass on this one. Maybe they think justin harrell is ready to play full time and i really hope he is.

While there has been plenty of talk around Green Bay of the Packers dealing with the Miami Dolphins for defensive end Jason Taylor, it now appears the star defensive end isn't going anywhere.....

Packers offseason scorecard
Latest on team's UFAs, RFAs, ERFAs, players acquired and lost

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
-- LS Rob Davis, the team's oldest player, is a good bet to still be playing in Green Bay when he hits the big 4-0 late in the 2008 season. He remains one of the best at his specialty and commands the respect of a locker room filled with much-younger players.

-- TE Ryan Krause, a better receiver than blocker, offered little after being promoted from the practice squad at midseason.
-- QB Craig Nall returned to the team late in the season as the No. 3 guy at the position. Nall, though, isn't interested in continuing to serve as the caddie for both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.......
