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 [...] Chris mentioned this morning he was hoping the Packers would take a serious look safety Ryan Clark before re-upped with the Steelers. However, all may not be lost at the position as Nick Collins signed his restricted free agent tender today, according Journal-Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein. The deal is one-year for $3.3 million and takes Collins off [...] Let’s face it: Tuesday is the worst day of the week. Sure, you’ve cleared that Monday hurdle well enough – perhaps with some help of your fond memories from the past weekend – but now what do you have to look forward to? Those weekend memories (if you can remember what actually happened) fade quickly, leaving [...] On Monday, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press Gazette ran an article breaking down the numbers on left tackle Chad Clifton’s three-year, $20 million contract, signed on Friday.

There is no doubt Kampman got [...] Saturday, 4:45 p.m. After waiting a bit – and making some plans before breaking them – Aaron Kampman is finally putting himself out there for other teams. Kampman visited with the Jacksonville Jaguars today, according to The Florida Times-Union. Friday, Kampman was all set to visit with the Philadelphia Eagles, although he apparently had a change of [...] Friday, 7:25 p.m. Lambeau Time Well, cancel those plans for the search for “Green Bay’s Next Left Tackle.” Chad Clifton, shockingly, will be back. Within the past hour, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported via his Twitter page that Clifton has re-upped with the Packers. The deal is reportedly for three years and $20 million (exactly what Clifton was said to [...] Well, we’ve reached the century mark for the 2010 free agency signing period. And, no, I’m not referring to the game where you drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. We at OBOD would NEVER condone such a game. We are now 100 minutes into free agency.
