I want to say there was one other example they road to the end and saw the market climbing; was it Hawk's second contract? Maybe Cobb?
Regardless, each of these occurred right before FA broke, so the Packers committed to signing them to market value before the market hit. If a player hits the open market, there is a much harder budget for them.
Good to see you back Patler.
