[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1095562, member: 7261"] I would probably term it as "[B]most marketable[/B]" guys. Meaning they were signed because they and a team had mutual interest and came up with a contract that worked for both parties. A month or so I downplayed compensatory picks as factoring into whether a team is willing to sign a free agent that could negate a future comp. pick. While I still think comp picks are a bit down the priority list, I do think that in the Packers case, they might be a factor right now. As I alluded to in my first comment above, there are some decent free agents still unsigned, but because of the following things, they will be waiting for a bit before finding their next team. - Asking for too much $$$ - Waiting for right team/situation - Injury concern - Teams hoping to fill needs with draft picks, not FA's - Comp. pick offset My guess is that Gute has a short list of FA's or even trade targets and the Packers have been in touch with said players/teams. Once the draft is complete, let the free agent frenzy begin again. [/QUOTE]
