Green Bay Packers Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: Andy Erdman, mvn.com/nfl-packers

Team Needs: DB, OT, TE, LB, QB

Key additions: LB Brandon Chillar (Rams), OT Joe Toledo (Dolphins), Longsnapper Thomas Gafford (no team)

Key Losses: QB Brett Favre, DT Corey Williams, CB Frank Walker, TE Bubba Franks, Longsnapper Rob Davis

Key Free Agents Retained: S Atari Bigby (Re-signed)

Free Agency Notes: At first glance, NFL fans who don't know the thought process and strategy of Packers general manager Ted Thompson would be stunned by how little free agency activity there has been this offseason in Green Bay. And that's true. The three Packers' additions -- Chillar, Toledo, and Gafford -- aren't big names. But Thompson, much to the chagrin of many Packers fans who seek that big signing, believes a team is best built through the draft, and the tight-fisted GM rarely overpays. That's why, once Favre officially files his retirement papers, the Packers will be more that $30 million under the salary cap -- just the way Thompson likes it. Regardless of the frustration caused by this strategy, the Packers have shown marked improvement in all areas since Thompson joined on 3 years ago. And let's not forget that Thompson, tight-fisted and all, was just named the NFL's top executive last year by the Sporting News.

Grade: B

Review of Grade: It's extremely difficult to grade Thompson. With a stategy like his, a true grade can only be fairly given in hindsight. I'll give him a "B" now because, after several years of criticizing him, I've begun to drink the Thompson Kool-Aid. I would've given him a B+ or an A- had he found a backup for Aaron Rodgers, but it now looks like that position will be filled through the draft.

Packers Had Already Blown Season Before Today

Last Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings came into Lambeau Field and beat the host Green Bay Packers 38-26. In the process, they made a statement: “We are the better team.” Packers fans made a statement, too, booing their former signal caller when he took the field and, for a while at least, when he touched the ball. Apparently, he was either wrong to exclaim that “real Packers fans would understand” his joining the Vikings. Or maybe the stadium was filled with others who, like me, are n...

Vikings Dominate Packers Early, Hold On

Before assessing what Sunday's 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings actually means to the Green Bay Packers (the subject of my next article—look for it Sunday morning), I want to provide the report card on each unit: Quarterback: B+ Aaron Rodgers had a passer rating over 100 for the fifth consecutive week, raising his season rating to 110.4. He now has 14 TDs and just two picks, plus one rushing TD and two fumbles lost for a 15:4 touchdown to turnover ratio. All of these stats are bett...

Packers Ready for Return of the Traitor

At 1:15pm PST (that's right—daylight savings is over, and it's time to change your clocks back to real time!), the second-place Green Bay Packers host the division-leading Minnesota Vikings. It is a rematch of the week four matchup won by the Vikings, 30-23. And I think I have heard something about a future Hall of Fame traitor's return... (Incidentally, for all of you still holding the ridiculous notion that The Traitor did not go to the Vikings to stick it to the Packers—catching us ...
