While some NFL teams got busy re-signing some of their key players on Tuesday following the start of the league's free agent negotiation period, the Green Bay Packers have remained quiet. The only notable news out of 1265 Lombardi Avenue was the offers of exclusive-rights free agent tenders to three key first- or second-year players.
Meanwhile, a trio of tight ends just went off the market, all re-signing with their old teams: Arizona brought back Jermaine Gresham while the Colts locked up Jack Doyle and Washington kept Vernon Davis around. All of that serves to likely inflate the price tags for the tight ends who do hit the market on Thursday, including one Jared Cook. With these three players all reportedly getting deals in the $5-7 million per range, it's a good bet that Cook's market will be similar.
Meanwhile, there will be plenty of additional news and reports throughout the rest of this week, so keep your browsers locked on our free agency tracker and enjoy today's Cheese Curds below!
