The big news we’d been waiting for, seemingly for weeks, finally broke Friday.
Although it was bigger than any of us could have expected.
On the first day of Fan Fest, the Green Bay Packers announced they had reached contract extensions with free safety Nick Collins and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett. Collins received a three-year deal worth $23.4 million ($14 million in the first year). Pickett was handed a four-year deal worth $28 million ($10 million in the first year).
This news, obviously, is huge, and we’re going to have more than enough reaction very shortly. But for now, let’s all simply rejoice. Two key members of Green Bay’s defense are locked up for the foreseeable future as the Packers appear to be fully entrenched in a distraction-free zone.
Brilliant work, Ted and Russ. Simply brilliant.
