One of the best nights of the Green Bay Packers' training camp has been nailed down, as the team's Family Night is officially set. Meanwhile, today marks the final practice of the team's second round of OTAs, though it will be closed to the public and media, and the team will resume again next Tuesday, June 10th.
As for other news, there's another big quarterback contract in the NFL, and one that may make Packers fans cringe a bit. Still, there's no doubt that we would rather have Aaron Rodgers on his deal than Colin Kaepernick on that one. On to the curds!

We'll break this down further later today, but it appears that the new deal is for an extra six years and adds $126 million in new money. Like any NFL contract, however, it is not what it seems, and we'll get into that soon.
