TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers
There is some interesting news floating around regarding Anthony Hargrove and the Green Bay Packers, as according to Aaron Wilson of Profootball.scout.com, Hargrove Tweeted this:
"not official but like i said green and yellow green yellow. can't wait for my first Lambeau Leap on game day. not yet but we screaming green and yellow green and yellow go packers go."
So apparently, Hargrove and the Packers are close to a deal or have a deal essentially completed and just need to finish a few minor details. If this report does turn out be to true, then its a great move for the Packers, who would be getting a very effective interior pass rusher, which was one of the biggest weaknesses of the defense last season.
Hargrove played last season in Seattle, registering 18 tackles, three sacks and two tackles for loss. For his career he has 19 1/2 sacks, 16 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles. Before playing in Seattle last season, Hargrove spent two years in New Orleans ...

Packers receive four compensatory draft picks
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For a general manager like Ted Thompson, these are the types of days to look forward to.
On Monday, the NFL awarded the Green Bay Packers four compensatory draft choices. For Thompson, who has built the current Packers' roster almost entirely through the draft, this means four more opportunities to build upon a 15-1 team last season that is also just one...
Green Bay Packers Surprisingly Active in Free Agency
In his first year as Green Bay Packers General Manager (2006), Ted Thompson grabbed Charles Woodson and Ryan Pickett via free agency. Neither appeared to be a stud at the time—the Oakland Raiders thought Woodson was breaking down—but adding two starters to a team that had gone 4-12 was a step in the right direction.
In the five years that followed, Thompson’s free agents were...

Now, you can’t tell me that during your Sunday sports coma you haven’t noticed the cheesehead linebacker with the flowing golden mane and arsenal of fancy footwork.

Hargrove Would Come With Baggage
Former Saint has already been suspended twice by the league
Unable to sign a proven pass rusher in free agency and unwilling to rely on the likes of Erik Walden and Jarius Wynn for another season, the normally conservative Ted Thompson now appears willing to go the unconventional route in an effort to improve what was his team’s Achilles’ heel in 2011. What other explanation...
