Hey Green Bay Packers fans: you may be interested to know that an NFL team has submitted an offer sheet for Transition Tagged center Alex Mack of the Cleveland Browns.

Of course, the team submitting said offer sheet is not the Packers, as they would be highly unlikely to have the money to make an offer that the Browns could not match.
Still, it's interesting to note that the Transition Tag process remains alive and well. We have that story and more for you in today's curds.
