FRANCHISE PLAYER
DT Corey Williams (tendered at $6.363M; traded to Browns for second-round pick in 2008 draft).

TRANSITION PLAYER
None.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--TE Ryan Krause, a better receiver than blocker, offered little after being promoted from the practice squad at midseason. His return is uncertain, although a spot was cleared when the team cut veteran Bubba Franks as a salary-cap casualty.

--QB Craig Nall returned to the team late in the season as the No. 3 guy at the position. Nall wasn't interested in continuing to serve as the caddie for both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, but with Favre off in retirement, Nall could be brought back for a chance to compete for the No. 2 job.

--T/G Tyson Walter spent the entire season on injured reserve because of a toe injury. The versatile, rugged veteran is worth bringing back to compete for a backup spot.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered offers)

--WR Carlyle Holiday (not tendered as ERFA), a converted quarterback, missed all but the season-opening game with a knee injury but, when healthy, has shown to be a dynamic situational receiver.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
None.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS

--RB Ryan Grant proved to be a godsend for a previously anemic running game the second half of the season and can write his ticket as a franchise back by racking up proficient performances for a full season.

PLAYERS ACQUIRED

--LB Brandon Chillar: UFA Rams; $5.4M/2 yrs, $550,000 SB/$1M RB; 2008 cap: $3.15M.

--OT Joe Toledo: FA Dolphins; terms unknown.

PLAYERS RE-SIGNED

--S Atari Bigby: ERFA; $445,000/1 yr.

--DT Colin Cole: RFA; tendered at $1.47M; terms unknown.

--TE Tory Humphrey: ERFA; $445,000/1 yr.

--FB John Kuhn: ERFA; $445,000/1 yr.

--WR Ruvell Martin: ERFA; $445,000/1 yr.

--RB Vernand Morency: RFA; $927,000/1 yr.

--LB Tracy White: UFA; $1.8M/2 yrs, $250,000 SB.

PLAYERS LOST

--LS Rob Davis: UFA; retired.

--QB Brett Favre (retired).

--TE Bubba Franks (released).

--OG Tony Palmer (released/failed physical).

--CB Frank Walker: UFA Ravens; $3.5M/2 yrs, $1.25M SB.

--DT Corey Williams: Franchise FA re-signed and traded to Browns; $38M/6 yrs, $16.5M guaranteed.

In addition to the Jets, the Buccaneers have received permission to speak with Brett Favre, according to FOXSports' Jay Glazer.

It looks like the Packers want to move Favre as fast as possible with players repo ...(more)

6'8'' TE would be great to have in the red zone.
