Some NFL general managers prefer not to rock the proverbial boat. As such, it's rare for them to roll the dice on a big-money free agent or pull off a huge draft day trade.
Green Bay's Ted Thompson is a prime example. Most would point to the success the Packers have enjoyed during his time at the top as a testament to how he's run things in Titletown.
Other general managers across the league, meanwhile, are far more aggressive. Take former New York Giants GM Ernie Accorsi, who paid a huge price to acquire Eli Manning from the San Diego Chargers during the 2004 draft.
