swede316 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 From ESPN Insider: Packers eyeing Pickett <Mar. 14> Pickett visited Green Bay on Monday and is headed to Buffalo for a meeting with the Bills, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The Packers are extremely interested in free-agent nose tackle, but they will face plenty of competition. "He was our first guy in," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We gave him our sales pitch. I thought it went very well today. I had a very good talk with him and his wife." The Rams have a strong offer on the table for Pickett. The Bills, who also have enough cap room to sign Pickett for an expected $4 million per year or so, want him to pair inside with newly acquired Larry Tripplett. "He said he was talking to a few other teams," McCarthy said. "I think we have a good shot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreadlox Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I dont know why but I get this image of the golden boys showing their "father figure side" And they are off buying Ice Cream and playing video games As long as they don't show their touchy feely creepy uncle side.

The pack should go about rebuilding the way they see fit, not the way brett sees fit. If he doesnt like it, they shoudl tell him to take a hike or retire. But they dont have the cojones to do that in green bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no reason for Brett to be playing the majority of snaps down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was no reason why Aaron Rogers shouldnt have been playing the 2nd half of most of those stretch games. Apparently, sherman went to the mike mularkey school of QB decisions. SF let go of montana, GB needs to do the same with favre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Does anyone know if Pickett has another scheduled visit with another team -- or did he head back to Green Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 you can't win in the nfl without a qb, and favre is still very good (last season's stats had more to do with the arena league-level supporting cast than any physical decline on his part). 630685[/snapback] I thought you could only win with a dominatn offensive and defensive line, no matter what QB or WR or RB you have on the team?

This all but assures the Packers front office won't make any more moves in FA . It is their only way out since they can't cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donahoeisgod Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I thought I read that he is still in town working on a deal? 630693[/snapback] Actually, I was at the stadium at lunch shopping in the Bills store and saw Pickett using his brand new 10% discount card for some souvenirs...and then he jumped in his brand new Toyota Land Cruiser and sped away.
