This should help with matchups on the line I doubt we see Clay Matthews get doubled as often.

Anywhere but Green Bay.

Why are they arch rivals of the Panthers or something?

And the continued development of guys like Daniels and D Jones will make the line better.

I kind of liked the look of Datone Jones standing up at OLB when we were hurting after Mulumba was injured. It was obvious he hadn't played the position, but he looked the part. But, he'll probably play all over the place, I imagine.

I hope he's on the line, as that would mean our OLBs are healthy. But I think he has the athletic ability to drop in coverage from the line, which will give Capers opportunities to maximize his scheme. Maybe bring back the "Pyscho" package.

The three-year deal free agent DE Julius Peppers signed with the Packers Sunday is worth $27 million and features $7.5 million in guarantees.


According to a source with access to NFLPA salary data, Peppers will make $8.5 million total in 2014, but because $7.5 million of it is guaranteed - and for cap purposes pro-rated over the three years of the deal - the first-year cap number is only $3.5 million.


If the Packers hang onto Peppers in 2015, his cap number jumps to $12 million. It is $10.5 million in 2016.
