piratesownninjas Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Im extremley happy... I didnt think he really brought that much to the table. I think Manuel brings the blue collar attitude to the team, and will help with Nick Collins and the other defensive backs. Im getting more and more optimistic as we go for this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) The Green Bay Packers have agreed in principle to a six-year, $37.5 million contract with A.J. Hawk, the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. The former Ohio State linebacker hopes to get the language of the contract done by Saturday morning so that he can practice. Terms of his guarantees haven't been finalized. Those will be done Friday night and Saturday morning. Talks between the Packers and Hawk's agent, Mike McCartney, heated up Thursday afternoon when the Jets completed a similar deal with D'Brickashaw Ferguson, the fourth pick in the draft. The Packers reported to camp Friday. All of the Packers' draft choices now have contract agreements. John Clayton is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.

Swiss Cheezhead Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Am I happy? Hmm... HELL FREAKING YES! First Jue's gone and now Roman! I can't think of anymore natural-born pieces of football feces left on our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The report I read earlier about the D-Lineman all working out in every drill, Pickett showing up 4 pounds lighter than what they had hoped... The db's aquired in the offseason, the ability to allow the 22 year old Carroll to learn for a year or two... The drafting genius which landed us AJ Hawk, and Abdul Hodge, along with Barnett, Manning, Taylor, and Poppinga... We've got something going here... Give it a year or two... The line will gel, we're on the right track there Now about that runningback position, and how Rodgers progresses. We've had a great run for over a decade, and Thompson is setting the packers up for another great run in the future... I'm ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Worst case scenario, we have Adrian Peterson waiting for us. Edited July 30, 2006 by budlitebrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Worst case scenario, we have Adrian Peterson waiting for us. Kenny Irons isnt a slouch either... I think our team improves a lot, but the record doesnt show it. I love Peterson and what he can do, but he runs to upright, and that will be a problem in the NFL. If we were to land him, Irons, or Lynch, I'd be extremley happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter where we draft next year, there will be a good RB waiting for us sometime on the first day. If the Pack ends up drafting late, I have no doubt TT will find somebody underrated. Michael Bush would be nice, but I think he'll skyrocket up draft boards after he works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yea, Bush would probably be my #2 after AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Roman signs with probably the worst team in the league. Even worse than the Titans. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Safety Mark Roman signed with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, three days after he was cut by the Green Bay Packers. Roman, a seven-year veteran who also played for Cincinnati, appeared in every game over the last two seasons with Green Bay. He had 90 tackles and two interceptions last season, but was released one day before the Packers opened training camp. Roman apparently was unhappy when the Packers signed free-agent safety Marquand Manuel in the offseason. To make room, the 49ers released safety Ben Emanuel, who played sparingly last season. In San Francisco, Roman will compete with newcomer Chad Williams, Keith Lewis and Mike Adams in a wide-open race to become the 49ers' starting free safety. Roman also could see time in Tony Parrish's spot at strong safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
