He understands the opposing offenses better than he gets credit. But……he’s slow and overruns. His playcalling benefits his teammates, and that is why he has value. The restructure gets him more in line with his true value. I’m OK with him hanging around.

They have deep pockets, but also have short fingers. In TT I trust on draft day, but spend some bloody money to fix the defense instead of sitting on your ass/wallet. You could have affordef Krueger, fact. Screw it, we are cheap. Someone ask McCarthy if his team is soft…

Once in a while though to add one, just one guy, isnt that huge of a risk if the price is right. I understand rodgers, clay, and raji need to get their extensions cuz theyve earned em, but not a single one of those guys seem to be worried about it this yr. to me it would have made more sense to get one or 2 of them under contract this year, and look to free agency to fill some gaps. TT does a great job during the draft and i wont take that away from him, but sometimes it doesnt hurt to take a gamble with one or 2 free agents.

I would have cut him and resigned Brad Jones and Robert Francois instead, both of those guys have outplayed Hawk when given the opportunity to play.

Want to know an interesting fact for this FA period so far?

The NFL has spent $707 million – $297 million guaranteed — on the “Top 25 FA”. Those 25 FAs have a combined SIX Pro Bowls.

I for one envy the Packers front office. They don’t waste their money on free agents that rarely pan out. They have a great scouting department that keeps talent flowing in from the draft, and saves their money for their own players that they know already perform in their system.

If I recall, I hear Rodgers is going to require double his salary. I know Clay Matthews’ extension is coming up. And I know they’ll give it to those guys. You know why? They’ve shown in the past that they open their checkbooks and take care of their own. Ask Charles Woodson, Aaron Rodgers, Jermichael Finley, Jordy Nelson, Nick Collins, or Ryan Pickett if they got taken care of in the past.

The comment above is 100% correct — if he hadn’t been picked in the upper half of the first round, he wouldn’t be trashed nearly as much.

Lol AJ Hawk is way to slow for today’s game. He would’ve been a great LB in the 80′s. Can’t believe this guy is even on the roster, complete garbage!!

Some people would like to see him cut but AJ wasn’t producing to his number and he accepted that. Glad to keep him.

Go Pack!
