Thanks to concept of free agency, there is no off season for the NFL. Free agency has been more than just a little exciting this year, even for Green Bay Packers fans. The Packers may not have joined in “Tebow-Mania”, but they have been unusually active this season. Although GM Ted Thompson prefers to build

2011 Packers Yearbook: Most Valuable Player (not named Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews)

2011 Packers Yearbook:  Most Valuable Player (not named Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews)) (Be sure to place your vote in the poll below.) Adam: Greg Jennings. This one would be more obvious if Jennings didn’t get hurt, but he gets the nod because of how powerful the Packers passing game was.

NFL Draft Predictions: Packers Mock Draft from Pigskin Paul

What would Ted do? It is April Fools’ Day 2012. And it seems to me to be just about the perfect time to be the perfect fool and attempt to predict the entire PACKERS Draft 2012. I might update this just before the actual Draft … then again maybe not. So pay attention, it may be your one and only chance to Mock me in my attempt to predict what TED THOMPSON might do. Just a few...

Packers Need To Replace McKenzie

McCloughan spent six years with the Packers in the 90s Reggie McKenzie worked under Ted Thompson for seven years, but he obviously doesn’t adhere to his former boss’ philosophy of saying as little as possible when it comes to dealing with the media. Oakland’s new general manager hasn’t shut his mouth since being hired away from the Packers 10 weeks ago. And now his public...

Thompson working to upgrade Packers' rush

By BILL HUBER PackerReport.com The Green Bay Packers have signed free-agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove, and general manager Ted Thompson might not be done. As of Thursday afternoon, another free-agent defender, Dave Tollefson, was en route to Green Bay to meet with the Packers. Tollefson was a seventh-round draft choice by the Packers in 2006 but never played a snap for them...

Packers Expected To Target A QB In The Draft

Dan Pompei of the National Football Post writes that the Green Bay Packers are “want to add another quarterback” and believes that they’ll probably do so in the later-rounds of this year’s draft. Pompei adds that Packers head coach Mike McCarthy “has high hopes for Graham Harrell” and thinks that he has “good grasp” of the teams’ offense. Previous reports have suggested...

Mike McCarthy still believes resting players is right way to go

The Green Bay Packers went 15-1 in the regular season last year and, after clinching the top seed in the NFC, sat many of their starters for Week 17′s contest against the Lions. That meant many of the Packers players, including Aaron Rodgers, went two weeks between playing games thanks to their first-round bye. The Packers were sloppy in their Divisional Round playoff loss to the...

Bell Unlikely To Toll In Green Bay

Free agent tackle will probably be too expensive for Packers The Packers may still be interested in Demetrius Bell, but signing him will be next to impossible. That’s because the Eagles are now in the market for a left tackle to replace Jason Peters (torn Achilles) and they have zeroed in on the talented former Bill. In fact, the four-year veteran from Northwestern State (La.)...

Mike McCarthy Looking To Get Packers WR Jordy Nelson More Catches

Think we saw the best of Jordy Nelson in 2011? Statistically, we might have, but he put up 68 catches for 1,263 yards and a whopping 15 touchdowns on under 100 targets. He played fewer snaps than teammate Greg Jennings, and Jennings missed three games with an injury. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said a goal for himself this offseason is to make sure Nelson gets more opportunities...

Surviving Sunday: Packers News, Notes and Links for the Football Deprived

Surviving Sundays With No Packers Football For those looking for Adam Czech, I’m sorry to report I am not him. I’ll be filling in for him in this edition of Surviving Sunday. Ted Thompson continued his uncharacteristic off-season by continuing to be extremely active in free agency. The Packers signed Anthony Hargrove after the move was speculated last week. So far this off-season...

Packers FS Nick Collins Should Know If He Can Play Again On Monday

Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that Packers FS Nick Collins underwent ”a battery of tests” to see how he’s recovered from the single-fusion surgery performed on his neck last year. “I think by Monday we’ll know something,” said Collins agent, Alan Herman. “I assume we’ll know something by Monday.” Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has said that Collins...

Packers And Tollefson May Reunite

The Packers are interested in bringing back a former player There’s no guarantee that Dave Tollefson’s rendezvous with the Packers on Friday will lead to a deal, but I actually think the odds are pretty good. That’s because the six-year veteran seems to fit every criteria GM Ted Thompson looks for in a free agent – he won’t be very expensive, he plays a position of need...

Film Looks Back At Summer Of ’08

New documentary will reopen old wounds for Packers fans It’s hard to believe over four years have passed since Brett Favre announced his “retirement” from the Packers. It seems like only yesterday, but in reality, so much has happened since then. Favre trashed the organization that rescued him from Atlanta and paid him over $100 million. General manager Ted Thompson traded...
