Cart Before the Horse: 2008 Packers?
Jib made a comment below pretty much saying the Packers have to win this year, because it's the best chance they will have for years. It got me thinking...this is the first time in a few years that I wasn't looking forward to "next season" by this time, and I have no honest clue what the 2008 Packers will lose from this season.
As far as I know, their entire defense is locked up (I do not know the contract status of KGB) and unless Donald Driver's contract is up, I can't figure who the offense will lose. The line is so young I can't imagine anyone being a free agent? All the receivers will be back (I expect Koren Robinson to re-sign for a discount...if he is a FA, which I think he is) the running back spot seems to be solidified with Grant (expect him and Jackson to be the backs next season) and they just signed Donald Lee to an extension. That leaves a second TE, which the Packers have not used as often this season with their 3-4 wide out sets, so it's not a giant hole to fill (I'm hoping they go that route in the draft).
The big question is and will always be, Favre. without Favre this team is obviously worse off, obviously. However, I fully expect Favre to return if the Packers do no win the Super Bowl this season. If they do, I sort of think he'll hang em up.
So, in this post full of assumptions that can easily be torched by someone with the time to look up the Packers contract situations...where did I fuck up? Am I missing a significant off-season loss?
