Welcome to the first weekend of the NFL off-season, everyone. Sleep in late (clearly that's what I did today), have a nice big breakfast, and find some way to entertain yourself without football Go watch hockey, perhaps. Or just sit in front of your laptop, scouring through scouting reports for the draft. Whatever works. Here's today's Packers news.

2013 NFL free agents: Wes Welker, Dwayne Bowe lead loaded group of wide receivers - SBNation.com
OUCH. Greg Jennings is rated below Danny Amendola and Brian Hartline? That seems pretty absurd to me. I think he's clearly behind the top four, but clearly better than those two names.
Enjoy your Saturday, everyone!
