We now live in a Trump World of "Alternative
Facts" and the NFL and Packers are caught in the middle of a good example.
On January 24, 2017 it was announced on Packers.com that
Executive Vice President/General Manager & Director of Football Operations
For Life Ted Thompson (I'm praying for
the end of time) has signed 8 players to reserve/futures contract (all of
which were on the practice squad at the end of the season).
However, on NFL.com (the official website of the NFL) on
January 23, 2017 (it's funny or tragic how the NFL announcing something about
the Packers before the Packers do) that the Packers had signed 8 players to
reserve/futures contracts, but not the same eight players.
The official NFL.com transaction of Jan. 23 listed Reggie
Gilbert, Antwan Goodley, Derrick Matthews, Lucas Patrick, Brian Price, Dez
Stewart, Jermaine Whitehead and Jacob Flores being signed.
The official Packers.com transaction of Jan. 24 listed
Reggie Gilbert, Antwan Goodley, Derrick Matthews, Lucas Patrick, Brian Price,
Beau Sandland, Jermaine Whitehead and Jacob Flores being signed.
As you can see Dez Stewart is not on the list submitted by
the Packers as being signed (he was released from the practice squad on
December 2, 2016 when Joe Callahan was re-signed).
