First-round draft picks have saved the Packers

What do you suppose the odds are that he's seen quite a bit more after the whole CBA kerfuffle is resolved? Since Murphy is the guy in charge of one of the smallest market teams, and the only team whose books are made public, it's entirely likely that Goodell has him on a short leash lest Murphy say or do something that undermines the league's position.

Interesting possibility. That thought had never crossed my mind, but it makes some sense. If he isn't out in the open, no one can ask questions of him, questions the league would rather not answer in public.
