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.

YardBarker got the bright idea to give Packers CB Jarrett Bush a YardBarker account.  Nothing beats a third- or fourth-string CB blogging on his opinion.  In a piece entitled “Green Bay’s Draft” Bush wrote: So we first started off drafting a WR, but I think we might move him to tight end because we need one.

The Young and the Favreless: ’08 Packers even younger

On opening day in 2006, the Green Bay Packers were the youngest team in the NFL. Average age = 25.57. And boy did they mature in 2007. Average age = 25.72, which again made them the youngest NFL squad. It doesn’t take a mathematician, then, to predict that the Pack will again field the youngest team heading [...]
