That's not a rumor, Tom just pointed out the top two veteran free agents available. Might as well throw Clint Ingram (Jaguars) and Chike Okeafor (Cardinals) in the mix also. Packers could also look for a player-for-player trade, although that's not really Ted Thompson's MO besides the Vernand Morency-Samkon Gado swap.Don't know if I see Thomas in Green Bay. He's a bit big for the Packers' scheme - 6-2, 270 - and he's going to be 33 on July 18.One other thing to keep in mind is that Thomas is represented by Bus Cook, who is more famously known as Brett Favre's agent. I don't know if there's residual bad blood there, but I don't think the Packers have worked with Cook on anything since Favre's departure (Perhaps they have and it's slipped my mind). That's likely coincidental -- both sides are professional after all, Cook doesn't have a ton of clients -- but just something to keep in mind. (Packers also passed on Craig Nall, a Cook client, when the conventional wisdom was Packers might sign him to be a veteran to Aaron Rodgers. To be fair, Nall was terrible in 2007).</blockquote>
