If by being "active" in free agency TT means he makes sure to monitor which free agents sign with other teams in case there are some dogs left over who no other team wants, then I don't see how anyone can claim he is not active in free agency.
I mean while he has not signed a player of note since Woodson/Pickett way back in 2006, who can forget immortal free agents like Frank Walker and Anthony Smith who TT snagged several years ago?
And how could anyone accuse TT of not being "active" in free agency when he landed Hargrove, Muir, Merling, Benson, and, the cherry on top of the ice cream, Jeff Saturday just last offseason. What a sterling quintet of free agents they turned out to be.
This is pure nonsense. You don't have to sign someone to be "active" in FA. You have no idea what FA TT is actually interested in. As he has said, when evaluating FA it has to be the right fit and he isn't going to get in a huge bidding war. But to sit there and claim that he must be sitting on his hands doing nothing because he doesn't sign anyone is incredibly short-sighted and is blatantly false.
And neither do you have no idea what veteran FAs, if any, TT is interested in. However, the FACTS reveal (a) that TT has not signed many free agent since 2006 and (b) the FAs he has signed since 2006 have had almost no impact.
I know some Packer fans considered last year's signings of Muir, Hargrove (neither of whom played a down in the NFL last season), Merling (who played about 20 snaps in GB and then was out of the league), Saturday (an obviously washed up and unqualified replacement for Wells), and Benson (who was such a hot commodity he remained unsigned when training camps opened in July) to constitute "significant" free agent activity. Maybe for TT but not by NFL standards.
Anyway, I certainly never said TT was sitting on his hands as I have repeatedly pointed out the 5 free agent signings above that TT made last season. I merely pointed out that Packer fans getting excited about top or even mid-tier FAs are looking at the wrong pool of players. They should instead be focusing on this year's Daniel Muir or Anthony Smith or Frank Walker or Duke Preston or Jeff Saturday. In other words the bottom of the barrel type players TT has signed since 2006.
