Packers have tight end options in free agency

Ask just about any NFL agent whether the Green Bay Packers have any interest in their free-agent client and they're likely to give you a puzzled response.

The Packers? Going after someone in free agency? Under Ted Thompson?

Instead of a yes answer, you're more likely to hear a crack like, "Look in the dictionary under conservative. There's a picture of Ted." Or "At least their pro personnel people get home by 3 p.m."

The truth is the Packers personnel department treats free agency like any other team does. It sifts through hours of video, constructs a value board and checks in with agents to see what it might cost to sign their client.
