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.

Colledge playing on shaky ground

Guard Daryn Colledge of the Green Bay Packers has been put on notice that his starting job would be in jeopardy if he doesn't pick up his play starting Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field.

Jackson thrives as blitz-killer

It isn't one block that earned Brandon Jackson the role of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' personal protector on third downs, but rather a series of them he has made over the course of this season that has earned him the responsibility.

Woodson enjoys giving jitters to offenses

Charles Woodson doesn't take it personally that opposing quarterbacks keep pointing him out on the field. On the contrary, he considers it a compliment.

Some players hesitant to 'snitch' about teammates' concussions

The NFL Players Association opposes Commissioner Roger Goodell's call for players to tell their teams' medical staffs if they believe a teammate shows symptoms of a concussion, saying that isn't an adequate solution.

Aaron Kampman says the Green Bay Packers' training staff won't need to keep a sharp eye on him when he returns to the field for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Packers Midterm Grades, Volume II

I will now grade the defense and special teams. I would like to remind everyone of my first prediction before the start of the season: “The defense will finish the season in the top quarter of the league.” Let me read some of the comments I got from doubters on both Sports Scribes and Bleacher Report when I made points about expecting great things from the Packers defense: * Packer's D won't get to the top 8 this year. AFC has the better defenses. In the NFC the Giants, Cowboys, Ea...

Packers Midseason Report Card

Every course has a mid-term grade, and we have reached that point in the season. (Technically, the Packers reached that before the Dallas game. However, with all teams having now had their bye week, week ten is the most appropriate time to do any comparison.) Thus, I will be examining the grades I have given each unit and analyzing the team strengths and weaknesses. In this article, I will focus on the offense and aspects of coaching; my next installment will focus on defense and special team...

Packers Bounce Back, Beat Boys

[caption align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Charles Woodson was a one-man wrecking crew Sunday"][/caption] The Green Bay Packers bounced back from their shameful effort (or lack thereof) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an inspired performance against Dallas Sunday to jump back into the playoff race. This was easily the most impressive game of the year for the Pack, as they played well from top-to-bottom. The fact that they did it against a division leader—t...
