Since the mid-1960s many have marched, demonstrated for people of color to be treated fairly such as being able to stay in the same hotel as teammates, enjoy the same perks as teammates (i.e. White House Guests)...

And now mis-guided as it may be, people of color don't want to go to the White House...

Bruce Arians has indicated that if a contract can't get done in time with Chandler Jones and representatives, he will be tagged...

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

I rather add to the list than subtract from the list with the FA money we have.

Going after a year wonder with a history of inconsistency and over paying them does not thrill me. Pass on Melvin Ingram please. We need more than one piece on this defense

Back to my rule of thumb.

Young - Proven - Solid - A back up that appears to be ready to step out and take over as a starter.

Micah Hyde (26) / 6'0' / 197 / Iowa / 2013 / Rd. 5 (159) / GB

He is a dependable player who offers versatility. Hyde is capable of playing both free and strong safety. Hyde has showcased consistent football despite being trapped in a rotation with HaHa Clinton-Dix and Morgan Burnett in his tenure with the Packers

Hyde has racked up 227 tackles, 24 passes defensed, eight interceptions and four sacks in 63 career games. In addition, Hyde has punt return capabilities, recording three touchdowns throughout his career.

he’ll most likely be searching for a starting opportunity.

He offers an out of that god awful Bird brain contract? Solid gamble IMO

Special team punt returner is a huge need to boot.

They're not allowed to talk to anyone from other teams until March 7th. They're not allowed to sign anyone from another team until March 9th.

This is the most informative thread going right now. Thanks for sharing fellas! I feel hopeful some of the talent we want is a good fit for Dean Payton and company.

You meant to say "awful Byrd brain contract?"
