The reason I view it a bit different is that tampering rule breakage aside, prior to Monday, the Packers were the only team that should have really been talking to Campbell about a new contract, which it sounds like they did.  So prior to free agency, both sides kind of knew where the others were at financially.  I also see it as a resign of your own, because you are very familiar with that player and how he fits in with your team.  Whereas, if the Packers signed Jarvis Landry tomorrow, this would be a completely new face, personality, skills, etc. and terms would have been hatched out during the tampering period or after the start of the new league year.  I guess I would call the Campbell signing as a "re-signing" of a Packer player.  Sure he was a free agent, but he will still be listed as a being employed by the Packers from at least 2021-2023.</blockquote>
