The mood around 1265 Lombardi Avenue right now probably runs a full gamut of emotions.
Relief. Sadness. Excitement. Anticipation. You name it, someone in the building probably has felt it. Yet one feeling really should summarize how the Green Bay Packers are feeling ahead of the NFL Draft after they just sent Aaron Rodgers to New York: liberated.
No longer are the Packers held hostage to the whims of the quarterback they all but handed control of the franchise over to. No longer do they have to hold their breaths when Rodgers would appear on The Pat McAfee Show and say something so out of left field that members of the team would shrink into their seats.
