[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 256554, member: 1834"] There might be a larger picture than what apparently seems to be ... Think about it for a moment ... - Not very long from now the salary cap will be lifted across the NFL and those franchises that are not economically sound will find themselves in trouble and with this opening up a whole new free agency market, as well as contract structuring, probably resulting in shorter contracts with larger pay off (to the players) ..., unfortunately it could open up the possibility of watching franchise implode, due to sheer economical instabilities, due to too heavy expenditures ... As I understand it, those contracts already negotiated, will not be changed, meaning, that once the salary cap is lifted, those franchises with plenty of dollars to spend, will have much more "free reign" while they are still economical healthy, where as alot of those franchises who have already spent their money, will find themselves in a tougher spot, without the added channeling of funds from their respective owners ... A similar problem persists in football (aka soccer), where you see alot of large Soccer Clubs, with huge debts, who are having to be bailed out by their respective governments, in order to avoid bankrupcy, because they are bent on spending huge amounts of money, chasing down success (mainly in the Champions League) ... And those soccer clubs that do not make the CL on a consistent basis, pay for this the very next season ... Since the Packers is not a "One man owned" franchise, but a "public" company, the unwillingness to purchase (rather costly) free agents before the salary cap is lifted, could be explained ... - As the Packers do not have access to the "same funds" as other franchises have, and have to secure their company via other means ... Because as a public company the organisation has other responsibilities than your average NFL Franchise ... I'm not saying that this is why, however, it does put the situation into a perspective ... - And could be another reason (not the sole reason) that the Board (Executive Board) are "meddling" more than they perhaps should with football operations ...
