Cheese Curds: Green Bay Packers News and Links for March 19, 2015

Today, the NFL takes a back seat to college basketball. The first real day of the NCAA Basketball tournament tips off today at just after noon Eastern time, and with it the country's collective sports consciousness focuses on the hard court for the next few days.

Until that happens, check out today's curds, which feature another former Packer free agent visiting a potential new team as well as some fallout from the March league meetings.
