GREEN BAY — Brian Gutekunst remained true to his word — and the Green Bay Packers’ salary-cap checkbook — during free agency. No one can say the Packers general manager didn’t warn them that there wouldn’t be the same kind of money thrown around as there had been a year earlier.
“I think when you look at free agency in the totality, we’re not going to be able to do what we did in unrestricted free agency like we did last year,” Gutekunst warned during a late-February sit-down Q&A session with a small group of beat writers before he departed for the annual NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
