Why Does Ted Thompson Refuse Free Agency and Build a Defense for Rodgers?

It's weird that they basically expect Rodgers to carry the team every year.

They've also had a ton of injuries this year

Thought the same thing. That's a 6 win team without Rodgers

6 wins? More like 3 or less.

It is looking more and more like
Reggie McKenzie was the real genius of that organization.

They are trying to avoid becomming the saints. The saints have gone out and blown way too much money of defenders in free agency and has burned them time after time. They have a top 3 qb and havnt made the playoffs the past few seasons. The packers draft and develop formula has gott them to the playoffs the last 7 seasons and just got them to an nfc championship.

Our problem isnt that we dont spend in free agency. I agree with what we do on that front. The problem has been talent evaluation. Our last few drafts have been focussed on defense, but the talent just hasnt panned out. Nick perry, kenny clark, datone jones, damarious randall, and haha clinton dix have been our last 5 picks. Haha clinton dix is really the only one who has flourished. Nick perry is finally having a good year this year, but was relatively quiet his first several years. (Note that the one plyer from that list that has been good was the one sec player. Need to stop drafting pac 12 pussies).

I would guess Green Bay is not on most players wish list. To get players to come, they would probably have to drastically overpay and then have salary cap problems.
