GREEN BAY, Wis. – How do you spend $56 million in two hours?
Brian Gutekunst showed how that’s done in NFL free agency.
That’s how much the Green Bay Packers general manager put into signing bonuses for the four free agents they came to terms with before his morning coffee cooled down on Tuesday.
Pass-rushers Za’Darius Smith ($20 million to sign) and Preston Smith ($16 million) accounted for more than half of that, while safety Adrian Amos ($11 million) and offensive lineman Billy Turner ($9 million) made up the rest.
