It’s not a real off-season until a jettisoned Packer is picked up by the Vikings or Seahawks.

===============================
It’s not a real offseason until a turd of a packer fan makes fun of a team for picking up a guy in free agency. What teams do that? Idiot.

I’m thankful for having him in GB, in prior years we were stuck with Mark Roman and Marquand Manuel who were both terrible while they were here.

If the Seagulls do intend to pick up Atari, they should really be working more on their offensive strategy to prepare for that massive onslaught of space invaders at the end. Seriously! Those things start coming FAST!

If he could stay healthy for once he’d be a good player. Not great but good. Probably better than what they have. Go Pack Go!

Better than Earl Thomas? No.

Better than Kam Chancellor? Well, Chancellor didn’t play a lot his first year, he mostly studied under Lawyer Milloy before being promoted into a starting role this year. So far, he’s been impressing with his ability to deliver the big hit.

This is a backup/depth move at best, and there’s some homegrown talent on the roster ahead of him. Sorry, couldn’t resist saying “homegrown” in the comment section about a player who is a Rastafarian.

Morgan Burnett, the packers 2nd round pick out of georgia is a much better option. I’m not sad to see bigby leave

Back in ’07 he was probably the first safety that Packers had that could light people up since Chuck Cecil.

Wish him the best.

Way to go Atari!

Good luck with the Seahawks!

Stay Healthy!

Was supposed to be the best safety in that league then, but was pretty underwhelming.
Had a decent season or two with GB though. But a good scouting team should be able to find an undrafted FA with better abilities.

You could have looked that up with your iPhone Wikipedia app.

He was named by his grandmother, who liked the name Atari. “Atari” is a Japanese word meaning “hit a target”, akin to an English speaker exclaiming “bullseye!”. During his time at UCF, he insisted he was not named after the video game console of the same name.
He is married to Jill and has 2 daughters, Michelle, born in 2001, and Leenah, born in 2004 and a son, Atari Kente Bigby, who was born February 10, 2008.[6] Atari Bigby is a Rastafarian who chose not to attend the University of Miami (Fla.), because the school would have required him to cut his hair in conflict with his beliefs.[7]

Sanders could tear his bicep by tying his shoe.
