More NFL Free Agency Analysis

Another day, another free agent day with NO Packer movement!  It is great reading different Packer fan reactions!  Check out this one from the Packer website:

"The Great Free Agency Debate Rages"

And, the fans are asking questions! And good old Vic Ketchman gets a little testy!

The fans are sitting by and watching the 49er's & Seahawks make many moves!  And in their own division the Bears and Vikings are making moves!(Vikings sign Jennings, shades of Farve all over again!)

The Ravens lose 7 defensive starters!  Broncos pick up another weapon in Welker!

And the Packers stay pat!  Another website I found does a nice job looking at salaries, free agents, and cap room.  Check out - Green Bay 2013 Cap Hits
