To me, team building is one of the most interesting aspects of following the NFL. How a given team is constructed is fascinating, and this offseason has presented an interesting case study in Green Bay.
After the team’s season-ending loss to the 49ers, the discussion around the Packers centered around two big questions: should (or would, given his say in the matter) the Packers retain Aaron Rodgers, and what should they do if he stays?
We knew that retaining Rodgers would free up some cap space, but I don’t think anybody anticipated what came next: the Packers used virtually all their space to bring back their defensive talent.
