http://www.packersnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a.../707240520/1989</p> The Packers signed three sixth round picks today, leaving only their top three draft choices un-signed.</p> This is the umpteenth year in a row where the Packers' front office signs all the late round picks and then draaaaaaags out the signings of their top talent.</p> Here's hoping there are no lengthy holdouts this year.</p>
I should hope Brandon Jackson and James Jones get signed in and ready, because they already have a long list of competitors to overcome in order to get good playing time, and missing out a week of training camp wont help at all. Justin Harrell doesn;t have much leverage either considering he didn't take part in any Mini camps, and hasn't played football sense last fall. I say Brandon Jackson is the next one to sign, with Jones after him. Harell gets into camp about 1-2 days after its started. Just some predictions.
I don't believe there were any holdouts a year ago. In fact I'm pretty sure they got them all in. With only 3 left I actually think the Packers have done a nice job so far considering the amount of players they have to sign. With Lawrence Timmons signed, Harrell's deal shouldn't be to hard to figure out. They were only a pick apart.

Cant help but think they would be better able to broker deals, if farve was happy with the front office. No one can broker a deal like him.</p>

If farve were running the show on that deal he would be in GB right now. Farve would have gotten him the deal, and would have gotten DBs to lay down so he could get the recieving record.

I just now thought of this connection!</p>
