On Wednesday night, we learned when the NFL's 2016 schedule would be announced. With that set to be released on Thursday evening, we thought that the NFL media would be eagerly awaiting that news and that the rest of the day would be pretty quiet.
Boy, were we wrong.
Instead, this morning started off with a bombshell, as the Titans announced that they traded the top pick in the draft to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams now end up on the opposite end of a lopsided draft trade, flipping the script from the situation they were in back in 2012, when they moved back to allow Washington to take Robert Griffin III.
Still, as far as the Packers are concerned, this will not affect them much. They are scheduled to play the Titans in Nashville this season, however, and we will find out when that game will take place tonight.

John Kuhn, Mike Neal still on the street with Packers' offseason work to start - ESPN
Neal is the biggest surprise to me, especially since he has visited multiple other teams this offseason. If the draft comes and goes and he remains unsigned, it would not surprise us if he does end up back in Green Bay on a one-year deal.

Drafting another QB not out of the question | Packers.com
Although Mike McCarthy is said to be very high on reserve QB Ryan Williams, he's a recent addition to the roster and he always likes to carry four quarterbacks during the offseason. Our bet is the Packers add one late in the draft or as an undrafted free agent.

This is a bit of a bizarre move, as Easley played extremely well when he has been on the field. However, getting on the field has been a challenge for him both at the college and NFL levels.
