Not long after Green Bay Packers' tight end Donald Lee caught a 48-yard pass from Brett Favre with about 3:30 left in the second quarter Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, Vice President Andrew Brandt saw an e-mail pop into his in-box.
"Are you sure you don't want to get this deal done?" the message read.
It was from Brian Levy, one of Lee's agents, who had been working with Brandt on a contract extension for the pending unrestricted free agent since Thursday evening.
Both sides made sure Lee will get the chance to continue doing that through 2011 in a Packers' uniform as he signed a four-year contract extension worth $11.88 million on Monday.
"I hope I can play for the Packers for the rest of my life," Lee said by telephone later in the afternoon. "I love it here. It's been like home."
