Thompson Should Look At Holliday
By PackerAaron
Greg Bedard stirs the pot here in regards to the Packers possibly looking at Vonnie Holliday, who is set to be released by the Dolphins. I don't know if Thompson would even think about bringing in someone Holliday's age, but I think it would immediately help in two areas: veteran leadership (that was for you DDD) and experience in Capers' system. At this stage in his career, Holliday should be able to be signed at a Packer friendly rate, and he certainly has some gas left in the tank. I would absolutely love this move.

Like Taylor, what's to lose. I guess they would both have to clear waivers before they could talk to GB? Not sure how a cut works during FA.

After four years in the league players become 'vested veterans' and immediately become free agents once they are cut.

the more people with experience in the 3-4 the better if you ask me. Maybe he and Pickett combined could make for a serviceable NT for the year.

Check that last comment, I didn't realize they had Holliday playing DE.

after some minor research - i would love such a move as well. i was disappointed when he left -- is the reason i haven't heard a thing about him because he was playing in 3-4's as an end, or because he was in kc and miami, or both? his numbers have been pretty good.
go get him ted.
