All these very good to great players are being let go because teams are overpaying quarterbacks.

So again, I think the Pack should take a very long and hard look about paying 1 and losing many. I really enjoyed what Love did after Thanksgiving, and I'm not saying he doesn't slot into that enormous salary, but I'm not certain retaining Love at his cost is worth losing all the other skill players. Just a thought. I know what's going to happen.

Can't pay everyone that's part of league and hitting guys in the draft going to have to lose some of them at some point.

I get what you're saying, but if the goal is to win a Super Bowl, you need a top-flight QB. There have only been 4 "cheap" quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl in the last 20 years - Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, Nick Foles, and Patrick Mahomes in his first appearance.

It can be done on the cheap, but the odds say you're better off paying a QB and then being smart with the rest of your contracts and continuing to load up with young talent. KC is a good example. They aren't overpaying a bunch of guys but instead work to draft young talent every year while paying good money to a handful of core guys.
 
So Yah or Nay to signing Simmons? 3 year contract with a out after 2 years?

It's a yes for me IF it's a 2yr deal with a modest signing bonus that the team can get out of in a year with no huge CAP ramifications. Simmons is a good locker room/safety room guy who can maybe help the transition to a young group of rookies and second year players. He's not the player he was when he signed his last big contract 3 years ago. A two year $15mil(ish) deal would be OK.

Reason I would be open to Simmons on a 3 year with a out after 2 years is he won't turn 31 until November. I rather have him then a guy like Poyer who is 33 next month and I question how much gas in tank. I would be hoping to get at least 2 years out of a guy that the team won't be forced to revisit safety spot again after 1 year.

My offer to Simmons 3 years $24 million $10 guaranteed. $8 million SB and $2 million base 1st year guaranteed.

Year 1 Cap $4.67
Year 2 Cap $7.67 dead cap $5.33
Year 3 Cap $11.66 dead cap $2.66

So in this offer you could get out after 1 year with some cap savings still.

In addition to the Packers releasing De'Vondre Campbell, @TomSilverstein reports the Packers want to retain internal free agents CB Keisean Nixon, LB Eric Wilson and TE Tyler Davis.

Did Tyler Davis know if Gute murdered someone that thsi guy can keep getting deals to stay in GB despite sucking and being hurt for a whole season?
