[QUOTE="TJV, post: 604790, member: 4300"] Of course the Packers contact more free agents than we know about and I’m sure Thompson has been a “finalist” in bidding for free agents that we haven’t heard about. But IMO it’s pretty clear Thompson sets a price for players and is disciplined enough not to deviate from it so the Packers are probably quickly out of the bidding on quite a few UFAs. The Packers have also been used (as other teams have) as leverage for players to get better deals from other teams. But none of this has much to do with the opinions of fans on Thompson’s MO regarding other teams’ free agents. For those who want big name FAs signed most off seasons, it’s little comfort Thompson has dropped out of the bidding after the price reached a certain level. For those of us who would like him to be more active in the “secondary” FA market, it’s little comfort he seems to be inclined to prefer the players on his roster or draftees to the UFAs many of us would prefer. But posting as if Thompson doesn't care about UFA or doesn’t know about it doesn’t advance the conversation IMO. [/QUOTE]
