After what seemed like the longest offseason ever—same old song and dance every year—NFL teams are gearing up for training camp, which begins next week.
For the Packers, players are scheduled to report on Wednesday, July 26th. So far on paper, they're shaping up to be poised for another playoff run as championship hopefuls.
Also on paper, they're financially intact for the foreseeable future. That's almost entirely in part thanks to Ted Thompson's conservative, yet, efficient approach over the last few months.
The general manager may be entering his final full offseason with the Packers—or with anyone—due to his contract expiring after the 2018 NFL Draft.
