If there is one thing that Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst has done that his predecessor Ted Thompson shied away from, it’s the relentless pursuit of adding talent.  Especially veteran talent.  Gutekunst understands that you have to utilize all available avenues to build a championship roster.  In recent memory, the Packers have added high priced…

As is tradition this time of year, the possibility of the Green Bay Packers adding a big-name tight end through free agency is nigh. This idea may feel fans with either hope or despair.
