Mike McCarthy said earlier this offseason that the Packers might shock us. Let me say, I’m feeling a bit of a jolt.
As with most offseasons, there was plenty of clamor from fans and media alike about the lack of movement in the free agency period by Green Bay; there have been obvious holes on the roster without obvious fixes in place, and there were a litany of names that seemed worthy of a look.
As expected of Ted Thompson and company however, each went on to other teams — including multiple players who would have looked good in green and gold instead set to don blue and orange of Chicago.
