    Same here. He along with maybe a Lawson addition is a solid start to rebuilding the LB unit. Great defensive teams have their strength in the front 7, mainly the LBs.

    This would be another step in the right direction. I would love to have Lawson or another solid FA OLB. However, I also wouldn't be upset if we took care of this in the draft.

    The sky is not falling.

    "@SBreport: Raiders have contacted LB Manny Lawson's agent, Green Bay and others also interested."

    Report: Packers in discussions with free agent Manny Lawson
    Posted by Evan Silva on March 20, 2012, 7:08 PM EDT


    The Green Bay Packers don’t dabble in free agency much. Their only notable transaction of the past week was the re-signing of special teamer Jarrett Bush.

    But with the market cooling and price tags lowering, G.M. Ted Thompson may be poised to make some moves.

    Per Ty Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Packers have interest in free agent linebacker Manny Lawson, and the two sides “have been in discussions.”

    While Lawson lacks ideal explosiveness rushing off the edge, he could be an upgrade on the likes of Erik Walden, Frank Zombo, and Brad Jones opposite Clay Matthews. As explained in our top-ten list of intriguing free agents left on the market, Lawson is an adept run-defending linebacker and excels in pass coverage.

    Lawson is also the No. 60 overall player in the PFT Hot 100.

    He'd cost us more than Wimbley's old contract.

    He is probably going to out of our price range.

    Why do we need bengals fans. The Fact is Manny Lawson had his best year in the Pros under a Lb coach named Jason Tarver . Who so happens to be raiders DC. IF Raiders want manny Lawson and the money the same , Raiders should get him.

    When I see more than one other team competing for a guy's services I'm kind of resigned to the fact that we won't get him...
