Andrew Brandt was the Packers cap guy for years and he shares some great Draft Day stories.

Here's his favorite from the chaos that happens right after the draft -  as teams scramble to sign UDFAs:

 

And my favorite story: I once told a player we would sign him for a $500 bonus. His answer was, and I quote:

“Well, I only have about $100 now, but I can get you the rest in about a week.”

“No,” I answered, “We pay you.”

Anyone else staying away from twitter, ESPN, NFLN and anything sports related until 8pm?  I know the plan is for the networks to not tip any picks but I still need to stay away from those savages of Schefter, Mortenson, Rappoport and god knows who else.

I legitimately feel bad for him.  They don't need to keep hammering him over it.

Meh, life of a public figure. Good chance to grow some thick skin. It's easy to brush off, "I was a dumb kid being edgy. My teammates know that's not me." Done deal.
