Defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson opted to remain with his current team, Kansas City, his agent disclosed on Saturday.The Green Bay Packers were negotiating Friday with Wilkerson's agent, Joby Branion, but ultimately Wilkerson wanted to remain with the Chiefs and agreed to a one year deal."I think there was just a comfort level with the team that he was with," Branion said. "He's good with everybody there. There's nothing he doesn't like about Kansas City."Wilkerson, 6 foot 3 and 292 pounds, has been a versatile reserve for the Chiefs for four years, playing both end and tackle. Wilkerson started just three of 56 games. He has 86 tackles, one-half sack and 34 quarterback pressures, including 25 in 2005. The Chiefs have also recently signed free agent tackle Alfonso Boone, who had spent six years with Chicago, and re-signed Ron Edwards.The Packers have acquired one player in the free agency period, cornerback Frank Walker.
So the Pack, in the worst division maybe in the history of the NFL, has done nothing to make their bad team the best of the bad. The Chicago Bears have even been trying very hard to help the Pack get to the top of the division.
The real shame is that the Packers organization has virtually wasted the last 6 or 7 years of Brett Favre's career. How can a team with a great QB keep giving him very, very average WR's?
How many more Superbowls could the Packers have won if they had more than one good receiver a year?
The sad thing is you have the Wisconsin "homers" who bow to the alter of the Pack, and never question anything they do.
Here's to another wasted year for the Pack!!!

Us Kansas Citians understand the comfort level of Kansas City. If you haven't spent a lot of time there, you just wouldn't understand, but most of the atheletes that have stayed for any length of time there have remained after their carreers were over. Among them are Len Dawson, George Brett, Kevin Seitzer, Former all star baseball player (who I had the pleasure of meeting, at a party at his home), and Neil Smith.
Well, Game. There's always college ball.
Game,
I don't mind paying for quality players, but you can keep Randy Moss in Oakland. Any compensation is too high for him.
I don't see too many good free agents yet. A few may get cut loose after the draft, but I don't want TT paying millions for garbage.
I think Manuel was a bad acquisition, and I'm not all that hep on Woodson either.
I wish the Pack weren't so prejudiced against Wisconsin grown players like Chris Samp (Green Bay Preble).
