Free agent Brian Westbrook, whom the Packers showed interest in signing this offseason, headlines today's Daily Links ...

The Packers have some choices to make today as to how to proceed with their three unsigned restricted free agents.

Atari Bigby (and most likely Johnny Jolly and Tramon Williams) has/have reportedly recieved a warning letter from the Packers stating the team will drop it's salary offer dramatically as of midnight tonight.

The Packers would do well to consider signing O.J. Atogwe to upgrade the safety position across from Nick Collins. Of course, they won't.

Two sources close to Packers safety Atari Bigby indicated before the draft that the veteran safety is thinking of holding out even after signing his RFA tender, possibly into training camp.

Drayn Colledge reportedly showed up at Lambeau today, signed his tender and started working out.

A very thought provoking post from Alex over at

Every, and I mean every, single Packers fan in the world should read this article from Packer Report's Bill Huber.

...provided his knee checks out with the medical staff, I would sign Ryan Torain and cut DeShawn Wynn. Like, yesterday.
