Avoiding the Albatross

Teams may start "legally tampering" with players scheduled to become free agents later today and start officially signing free agents on Wednesday, March 13. I have noticed that many fans are worried that GM Gutekunst might reach for a player and stick the Packers with a contract that harms the team for years.

No more contracts like Nick Perry's is easy to say but harder to execute. When the target is a very good to an elite player, the potential for a cap-killing contract increases. Yet, many fans want and expect the Packers to spend in free agency.
