GREEN BAY PACKERS
Headline additions: Hired Mike McCarthy as head coach, signed cornerback Charles Woodson and drafted linebacker A.J. Hawk in the first round.
Offseason vibe: Now that the Brett Favre purgatory stage of their offseason is finally over, the Packers know what they'll be playing with in 2006: a slightly upgraded (maybe) version of the roster that nosedived to a Favre-era low of 4-12 last season. Favre is coming back for a 16th NFL season, but Green Bay would have ended this season better off and further along in its rebuilding if he hadn't. The Packers may win a few more games with Favre than they would have with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, but not enough to make a real difference in the standings.
