It's March, Free Agents Talk & Teams Clearing Cap Space!

This time of the year many teams are cleaning house, SPRING CLEANING!  The date that looms is March 10, 2015!  Free Agent signing begins!  So, what are NFL teams doing?

First, Clear Cap Space!  Many veterans around the league are now looking for new homes!  The Packers are no different, the two large salaries that are now gone - AJ Hawk & Brad Jones.  AJ Hawk will probably stay retired.  Brad Jones, already signed a two year deal with the Eagles!

Brandon Bostick is now with the Vikings.  Kevin Dorsey has a tryout with the Patriots.  So, the Packers plan of draft & develop must be working, because other teams like Packer players!!!

Second, Packer cap space is growing.  Now, the front office is talking to some key players, in this case Cobb and Bulaga!  The rumors are flying with Randall Cobb, $12,000,000?  No way the Pack pays that!  My guess, around $9,000,000.  If not, bye, bye, Cobb.

Bulaga, the rumors are quiet.  Here we have a back up plan - Tretter & Barclay.

If you want to see Right Tackle salaries, click here!!!

So, top ten go from 3.2 million to 7 million.  I would give Bulaga 4-6 million.  If not, bye, bye!

Next on my list is cornerback, Tramon Williams & Devon House.

If you want to see top Cornerback salaries, click here!!!

A big range 9.6 million to 25 million, now second was 14 million!!  Big gap.  Again, for House & Williams, we have different thinking, Williams the older athlete & House the younger.  Last year salaries, Williams was the 4th highest paid at 9.5 million!  No way, at age 31, I would pay that!  I would offer 3 yrs at 6-7 million.  For House, a raise, maybe 3 yrs at 6-7 million.

The top four on my list - Cobb, Bulaga, Williams, & House!  All the other players be later.

Of course, stupid decisions, like Guion & now Bush, will make their decisions easier.  As Forest Gump says, "Stupid is, as Stupid does!"  So, Stupid = Less $$$$$$

Hang on, the next 2 weeks should be fun!!!!
