Happy Friday, Green Bay Packers fans. Another week is drawing to a close, inching us ever-closer to another training camp. Of course, we still have OTAs and minicamp to get through first, so stay tuned for those events over the next two weeks.

NFL players in contract years who could cash in - SBNation.com
Tramon Williams is on this list, and could earn himself a big payday if he plays like he did in the second half of 2013.

NFL has 2 sets of dates, 3 cities in mind for 2015 Draft - SBNation.com
If it's in either Chicago or New York, APC would very feasibly be able to have one of our writers in attendance. Our fingers are crossed!
