Friday Cheese Curds: Packers must avoid hindering the franchise in free agency

Anyone is who a fan of or follows the Green Bay Packers agree on one thing: they’re going to have to spend in free agency.

The trick is not to spend too much.

Teams that go on lavish spending sprees in free agency often not only hurt the team’s short term health but also long term as well. While the Packers definitely should be in a “win now” mode with franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers at 35 years old, general manager Brian Gutekunst would be wise to not gamble his team’s future too much at the expense of the present.
