I was reading through articles and someone mentioned that Packers tipped their hand on their need at CB by offering Kyle Fuller a contract. That had me thinking ... was the contract offer a ruse? Seems insanely far-fetched to me, but it was a win-win situation. If you get the player, you hurt your division rival while boosting your CB position. If you don't get the player, you force your division rival to pay more ($4 million) to retain their player. You also tell the league you are aggressively pursuing CB's.
Again, this is far-fetched, but I have no idea how this Brian G guy works. Maybe the Packers feel the draft is deep at CB, but giving this smokescreen of sorts that they will snag CB at 14 is to get teams in the later part of the round to aggressively move up and take a CB, ensuring (rather, making it more likely) one of the Edge rushers falls to them?
Yes, far-fetched, insane, but hell, it's the off-season and it's better to conjure this crazy crap up than say our QB is a whiny bitch. Anyhow, what do you think? Any chance this scenario has any merit?
