New Packers C Jeff Saturday
You see that guy on the right? ——>>>>
That’s new Packers center Jeff Saturday. He used to play center for the Colts and snap the ball to Peyton Manning. He was a free agent this offseason and the Packers signed him. Now he’s snapping the ball to Aaron Rodgers.
What’s that? Can you repeat your question? You don’t know what a free agent is?
Oh yes, I’m sorry. You’re a Packers fan and you are not familiar with the term free agent. I know we went over this when Saturday signed, but here’s a refresher:

Saine was picked up by the Green Bay Packers in 2011 as an undrafted rookie...

Wide receiver Greg Jennings suffered a concussion during a team scrimmage Sunday night, according to Ty Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Fantasy Spin:
Consider Jennings day-to-day, and this should not be an issue as the star wideout does not have a history of concussions. And Randall Cobb is one key receiver that will benefit from extra reps while Jennings is recovering.
