Amid multiple reports that the Packers have contacted players during the lockout to tell them to be ready to show up on Saturday for a team meeting and a denial by an unnamed Packers executive who possibly fears being made to look like an idiot if the league investigates and proves that contact was made, the league has advised PFT that, for now, there will be no comment on the situation.
“We are focused on closing the agreement and will not comment on this,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said via e-mail.
So “boo” on the “no comment.” But “yay” on the “closing the agreement.”
The league previously looked into reports of contact between teams and players, with an investigation that conjured images of a broom and a rug and a sweeping sound.
