As the work week begins to wind down, Senior Bowl practice is approaching the end as well. Today's cheese curds cover a random assortment of topics, the Senior Bowl among them. We've got projections on free agency, picks for the top players in the NFC North (which include six Green Bay Packers), a look ahead to a big contract for a fan favorite, and a preview of the Super Bowl by someone who has never watched a football game.
Enjoy!
Mike Vandermause column: Six 'keepers' among 20 Packers free agents | Packersnews
It's an interesting list - and since the players are listed in order of priority, I wouldn't have number 2 as high as he is.
Flashback - Nick Collins' promising career was cut short - JSOnline
It's always tough reliving Collins' injury, but not nearly as tough as it is for the former Packer safety himself.
Senior Bowl Day 3 practice report - SBNation.com
Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald sounds like a Mike Daniels clone at 6'1", 288. I really hope he doesn't end up in Chicago.
Point of Veau: Jordy Nelson’s Payday is Coming … Soon | Cheesehead TV
Yup. Jordy was signed to an incredibly team-friendly deal just before his breakout in 2011...he won't be so cheap if the Packers want to lock him up long-term again.
2013 PFF All-NFC North Team | Pro Football Focus
To nobody's surprise, Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, and Josh Sitton made the team. Joining them were Mike Daniels and Sam Shields on defense.
Super Bowl 2014: Previewing the big game with my Australian mother - SBNation.com
The Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Raiders will play in the 79th edition of the football finals in Tampa, Florida. Awesome.
Helping Madden: Give to a charity, and put yourself in the running for a Breaking Madden slot - SBNation.com
This is a great idea. Go be a good person, donate some money to something good, and get in the game.
