Make your move already!!!

With all these big money signings going on around the league, and watching pro caliber player after another getting outrageous amounts of greenbacks and new contracts; It makes me wonder if the Packers are ever gonna make a move on a big time, instant impact player. But as everyone who follows the Packers knows, Ted Thompson the Packers General Manager, is not one to go out and spend the money on any high price free agents. It is already bad enough that not many players want to play in the tropical location of Green Bay, Wisconsin. In fact, Thompson has only brought in 1 all pro caliber player in via free agency (Charles Woodson) in the few years he has been in Green Bay. I personally don't think the pack need a big money player however; I think injuries plagued them last year, and that makes it tough to win under these circumstances. Plus, they essentially had a rookie quarterback leading the second youngest team in the NFL; against one of the toughest schedules in the league. So maybe all the pack need is to get healthy this offseason, and use their superior eye for talent in this years draft, instead on relying on free agency. Only time will tell if the pack will chase any of the available players in the free agent pool, but until then, cheesehead nation will have to keep their eyes and ears in waiting.

  1. I like the Packers alot!! However, I don't really understand how all this free agent and signing stuff works. But I think that the Packers don't need a "Big name" to be on their team. The Packers I'd say are the best team for supporting sportsmanship and just the players show the love of them game. I think if they add someone who has a big name it might change that
