Green Bay is undoubtedly one of the last places NFL players would choose to play.
In 1996, almost 20 years ago, the Packers won the Super Bowl.
That team included the following FREE AGENTS: QB Jim McMahon, WRs Don Beebe, Andre Rison, and Desmond Howard, OLineman Bruce Wilkerson, Jeff Dellenbach, DLineman Reggie White, Sean Jones, Santana Dotson, Gilbert Brown, LB Ron Cox, and DBs Eugene Robinson & Mike Pryor.
Ron Wolf also traded for TE Keith Jackson and QB Brett Favre.
Serious question for those who insist the Packers can't sign veteran free agents due to their location, do you really believe that Green Bay has deteriorated since 1996 to the point that free agents will no longer play in the Frozen Tundra?
Or, could it be that TT's philosophy for building a roster does not include adding veteran players from other teams unless there is absolutely no other viable option?
I think the fact Ted Thompson has not made a trade for a NFL player in nearly 9 seasons (and trades do not require the player's consent) is pretty strong circumstantial evidence as to TT's approach to building the roster.
