Packers' Mark Murphy on free agency: 'We're not going to overspend'

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Mark Murphy made an unusual assurance on Sunday evening at the NFL owners meetings when the Green Bay Packers president was asked what he thought of his team’s actions so far in free agency.

“Ted and Russ and Mike know what they’re doing,” Murphy said.

He was referring, of course, to general manager Ted Thompson, vice president of football administration/player finance Russ Ball and coach Mike McCarthy -- a trio that has overseen seven straight playoff seasons and one Super Bowl title. That statement was part of a longer answer to a question about what he thought of the Packers’ moves -- or lack thereof -- in free agency.
