The Implications of Cole Madison's Absence - Financial and Otherwise

Related Topics: Cole Madison, Existence

The Green Bay Packers drafted one offensive lineman in this year's draft when they used the first pick in the fifth round to select Cole Madison, a 47-game starter at right tackle for Washington State. The team signed Madison but was surprised when he did not report for training camp due to a personal matter, the nature of which the team has not disclosed. The Packer placed Madison on the Reserve/Did Not Report list.

This presents an awkward situation. Aside from the fact that the team could use depth at offensive guard, and might have wanted to take a look at Madison at right tackle given the struggles of Bell, Spriggs and Murphy, there are other ramifications.
