FYI. Saw this on RaginPagin this morning. Thought you'd like to know. Hope the link is active.

*********************

The Green Bay Packers will take a second look at free agent quarterback Jerry Baab.

They recently signed Baab and receiver Johnny Quinn to free agent futures’ contracts.

Baab, 23, threw for 6,200-plus yards in four years at Louisiana-Lafayette, but he went undrafted a year ago.

The Packers brought him in for a mini-camp last May, but they did not invite him to training camp.

What is a "futures' contract"?

What is a "futures' contract"?

It means they are being signed for next season, even though the official start of next season isn't until march.. Only players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster at the end of last season are eligible for such signings; if they were under contract, then they would remain so until March..
