I read a paragraph in an article about a week or two ago that suggested Daniels was in the doghouse from last year, still. It reported that the coaches (last year) were very frustrated with him for freelancing way too much and ignoring their demands to stick to his assignments. (Maybe the reason...
It wouldn't be a shock, but I don't expect it to happen. Rodgers might not be a typical #3 TE, there is no standout feature to him, but he is reliable in what he is capable of doing, even if limited. Peck or Sandland will have to show intriguing promise to knock Rodgers off the team. More than...
Re Clifton - I suspect their intention always was to keep him, and to pay what was needed to do so. Getting it done just before FA hit avoided an outrageous offer. I'm sure they held out for a while, hoping for a better deal; but I'm not sure they exceeded what they pegged his value at. Maybe...
Lots of miscellaneous discussion's all over the net, good comments by several on here, and citations to articles such as:

Being old and confused, I decided to start a single thread to focus the discussion.
My opinion? Many of the national...
The Packers dominated Seattle for 55 minutes in the NFCCG just two years ago. Since then, MM has lost his touch in getting what he wants from the team, including Rodgers. I have always questioned his hiring practices for coaches. I think his give-away-take-away of play calling duties was handled...
.... and neither Aaron Rodgers nor Clay Matthews is one of the three.

I think they should drastically narrow the window for byes. I wouldn't mind if they limited it to two weeks.
At one time all teams in a division did have the same bye week, didn't they?
TT came to GB in 2005, and inherited a 2004 roster with 2 of the best guards in the league, but both had contracts that had come to an end. Rivera was a 9 year veteran, Mike Wahle a 7 year veteran. As we all know, both Rivera and Wahle signed very large contracts with other teams, and GB was...
Keep reading about people comparing Cook to Finley:
Cook vs. Finley comparisons from their predraft workouts:
Size - almost identical, Cook is 1/4" taller & 3 lbs. heavier.
Arms & hands - couldn't find info on Finley, but Cook has long arms at 35 3/4" and large hands at 10 1/2"
Age - again...
I am a little surprised at the size of this contract. Almost twice what he got in the last contract. In 2014 he signed for two years $3.25 million. This one, 2 years $6 million.
Could be an interesting signing. One site said he was rated as the #1 linebacker in the league against the run, and #21 overall against the pass. Not a bad combination.
It's way too early, I think I will wait before stepping off the ledge.
That said, I was down on Rodgers all year. I thought he contributed to making a bad situation even worse by performing rather poorly (for him). Then, if he really did have the attitude some suggested, that he made it clear...
