Off-Season 2110 (Green Bay) - The Packers have designated LB's Keith Bales, selected with the eighth selection in the 2nd round of the 2105 Draft, and Junior Bennett, selected with the seventh selection in the 3rd round of the 2105 Draft, guaranteeing each 12.000 annually as FP5 players.

'Keith and Junior have done everything we have asked of them since joining the Packers, and we're excited about their future and their anchoring our linebacking corps line for years to come. Truth be told though...we couldn't decide which one to tag, so we decided to tag both and let them battle it out for the next few seasons for the rights to be the #1 guy here. The loser will be traded so we can offer the 3rd FP contract to DL Jock Sevall, acquired in an offseason trade with Houston after the 2107 Draft.' commented Green Bay Packers' GM Todd Ricotta in a statement issued this afternoon from team headquarters.
