As a busy start to the NFL's new league year reaches the end of its first-week wave, the Vikings' NFC North brethren have been aggressive under new management in Detroit, typically quiet in Green Bay and, of course, forever frustrated at quarterback in Chicago.
New Lions General Manager Brad Holmes, the 41-year-old who spent the past eight seasons as the Rams' college scouting director, already has added nine new faces, made a blockbuster trade with his former team, and jump-started a youth movement he hopes will mirror what he experienced in Los Angeles.
In Green Bay, General Manager Brian Gutekunst hasn't made a peep, bringing in no new faces while focusing all of his attention on shaving $24 million off the Packers' salary cap.
