| 18th March, 2010 - 11:57 am |  Journal Sentinel - Will Blackmon, one of seven Green Bay Packers restricted free agents, took himself off the market by signing his one-year qualifying offer.
A source with access to the NFL's transaction wire said Blackmon signed the deal Monday, the first day of the Packers' off-season workout program. It's not surprising Blackmon signed so early because he is coming off major knee surgery and probably won't receive any interest around the league.
The Packers offered him a one-year, $1.176 million tender, which places the compensation for signing him at a fourth-round pick, the same round in which he was drafted in 2006. By signing the offer, Blackmon can take part in the workout program knowing his salary is protected if he gets hurt at the team's facility. [READ] |
