GREEN BAY, Wis. – The NFL free-agent market for receivers had been at a standstill, with veteran stars Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper and Keenan Allen still looking for work.
Would the Green Bay Packers, who could use a veteran receiver to supplement their young group, make one last big splash into free agency?
Probably not. At least not at the price commanded by Diggs, who agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $69 million with the New England Patriots on Tuesday night, according to reports. The $23.0 million average is slightly higher than the $22.
