Packers' $77 million blunder is haunting them in new ways before camp opens

The Green Bay Packers' surprising big-money move initially raised eyebrows, and it's now spiralling into a training camp problem.

Handing Aaron Banks a four-year, $77 million deal already screams overpay. It's a move the Packers may quickly regret. To make matters worse, Banks' arrival forces Elgton Jenkins to center, which has led to him holding out of the offseason program with the hopes of reworking his contract.

Trey Smith's blockbuster new deal with the Kansas City Chiefs shines another light on the Packers' potential offseason blunder. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs have handed Smith a four-year deal worth $94 million.
