[QUOTE="sschind, post: 601368, member: 10247"] Saturday is not as much of a big deal as it used to be. It is important to the teams regarding their own players because players can negotiate with other teams and field offers but they can't sign with other teams until Tuesday. They can still sign with their old teams. I think this works in the Packers favor in general because of TTs approach to free agency. It gives his players a chance to see what they can get and let the Packers match it (if they choose to let them match it) but it does give them a few days to think it over and perhaps decide that for the extra million or two it isn't worth leaving Green Bay. In other words it prevents players from making rash decisions and going with the first big number that is thrown their way. Since Ted does not get involved in the first few days of furious activity and the big numbers he doesn't have to worry about wowing a player right off the bat and not letting them come to their senses. I think this new rule makes it easier for teams to retain their own players. I'm not sure how long it has been in effect. I think last year was the same but that may have been the first year of it. Might have been part f the last CBA but I like it. It's kind of like a soft opening for a new business. [/QUOTE]
