Andy Reed's chubby figure slowly turned around, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, almost invisible. Then he looked up and down carefully at Lu Yiqi in front of him, like a laser light, making people unable to hide, but Lu Yiqi always smiled and looked at Reed's gaze, not only calm but also confident, and unmoved at all.

The vicious sunshine of Atlanta drove away the chill of early spring in early March, and crystal sweat slowly penetrated from the forehead. You could already smell the summer heat under your nose. A large area of ​​Reed's T-shirt was wet, and the dark green of the Philadelphia Eagle had soaked into a dark green close to black.

The USC training camp is a long memory three weeks ago. Lu Yiqi walked eastward. After four training camps, he successfully arrived in Atlanta. This was also the last training camp before heading to Indianapolis. The preliminary investigation of the draft is about to come to an end.

"No wonder Pat said, be careful of you guy." Reed smiled like Maitreya Buddha, but his reproachful tone brought his elders to face the pampering of his younger generation. "I thought you came here to visit me, but in the end I wanted to come and dig my corner. Humph, no way, you go to St. Louis to cool down."

"Green Bay is cool enough, there is no need to go to St. Louis." Lu Yiqi said with a laugh, "Coach Reed, you are not ready to renew your contract with Brian anyway, aren't you? Then, why can't he join Green Bay? I think this is a very cost-effective deal."

"You guy, you will only shout 'Coach Reed' when you plot against me. I've seen your tricks long ago." Reed's head shaking like a rattle. "If you are willing to give Woodson to us, we will trade with you, otherwise there is nothing I want to covet in your Green Bay."

Reed shook his head and raised his chubby palm again? Waving his hands repeatedly.

"Yes." Lu Yiqi not only did not refuse? Instead, he nodded seriously and agreed, "Coach Reed? You should call Woodson's agent quickly? Then let's communicate and check it out. Before the draft starts? Let's confirm the deal."

Reed narrowed his eyes again and looked at Lu Yiqi carefully? "...You little fox? You know that Woodson would never come to Philadelphia, but you are cheating me."

"Hehe, was discovered?" Lu Yiqi scratched his head without quibbling. Luo Luo admitted generously? This made Reed laugh helplessly.

Charles Woodson and Green Bay Packers are still not required to renew their contracts during the contract period, which also means that unless Woodson voluntarily applies for a transfer, it is impossible for the Philadelphia Eagles to sign Woodson.

Reed knows Woodson? He just wants to join a champion team, on the honor list of Woodson's career? There are everything, and the only thing he lacks is the Super Bowl Championship? This is his only idea. So now, Woodson is in a Super Bowl Championship team? How could he be willing to transfer?

If Woodson is now completely loyal to Lu Yiqi? Reed would not be surprised at all.

So, the reason why Reed mentioned Woodson just now was that Brian Dawkins was their non-sale product.

Reed raised his jaw and glanced at Lu Yiqi, "Why, Green Bay has changed tradition and is willing to do things in the free market? Have you convinced Thompson?"

Green Bay Packers have a well-known tradition in the league: they like to train direct players, in other words, they have slowly cultivated players with golden and green blood since their rookie years, and then allowed them to grow and become stronger in Green Bay.

It is precisely because of this that the Green Bay Packers are very, very slow in the free agent market. They rarely take the initiative to sign big-name free agents, and are more willing to invest and make moves in the draft. They always believe that the value of rookies is the greatest. After the draft is over, check their salary caps and team lineup needs, and then go to Taobao, the free agent market.

However, the free court market at the end of the draft has basically been replaced by Taobao several times. How can we find a truly excellent player?

Originally, according to the normal plan, the coaching staff’s first priority is to focus on the free agent market and find the right players. At the same time, combining today’s rookies, we can see whether to choose big-name free agents or bet on the draft. This is the correct way to prepare for the offseason.

However, Green Bay Packers are unpredictable every year, and the turbulence of the free agent market has nothing to do with them. Fans are anxious to the point of suffocation. The uniform team is still as stable as Mount Tai and focuses on the draft. Green Bay is basically invisible in the heavy free agent trade during the offseason.

After the millennium and until the 2020 season, the Green Bay Packers had an impressive offseason-long rare free agent market move, which happened in the 2014 offseason, when they signed Hall of Fame-level defensive end Julius Peppers from the Chicago Bears.

It is mainly because the Green Bay Packers are popular every year, but they return in a bad way every year, and the uniforms have to start seeking help on the defensive end. Thompson then launched a rare "offensive" in the free agent market and successfully signed Peppers, which welcomed cheers from fans.

But now, the Green Bay Packers have just won the Super Bowl championship, and the main players in the team are all within the contract period. In addition, they have cleaned up a wave of players in the offseason last year, and there is no worries about renewing the contract. This also means that Thompson and Lu Yiqi don’t need to worry about cleaning up the players, nor do they need to worry about the hard salary cap pressure brought by renewal. Against this background, Thompson naturally focused all his attention on the draft.

Therefore, Lu Yiqi left Green Bay early and embarked on the journey of rookie inspection.

So, what is Lu Yiqi doing now?

This is also what Reed said just now. Is Lu Yiqi preparing to take action in the free agent market? So, what is Thompson's idea?

But Lu Yiqi did not answer Reed's words, but asked, "Oh, what you mean is that Brian Dawkins can discuss?"

"No, what I mean is, do you know what you are doing?" Reed was not fooled at all.

Lu Yiqi was not surprised, spread his hands and said half-truely, "I made a list for Thompson, and then told him that this was the key to the defending champion. He told me that he would operate and see, but I couldn't ask about the results. To be honest, I didn't believe he would do his best, so I appeared here."

After saying that, Lu Yiqi approached Reed and said in a low voice, "Tell you a secret, our salary cap still has a lot of room, and we can indeed operate well."

True and false, false, false, real, the light in Lu Yiqi's eyes was flashing, the only thing that could be sure of is—
