As of this podcast recording, free agency hadn’t even begun (for those playing at home, it officially starts Wednesday at 4PM ET). But to those certain Packers fans who take to Twitter every March to bemoan their team’s typical torpid approach to free agency, GM Brian Gutekunst had three words:
“Hold my beer.”
As podcast guest and APC managing editor Tex Western puts it in this episode, this really was a day unlike anything we’ve ever seen as Packers fans. First there was the introduction of the Smiths. No, not the jangly, Morrissey-led band from Manchester, but rather new Packers pass rushers Preston Smith and Za’Darius Smith.
