Packers Sign OT Byron Bell

Free-agent tackle Byron Bell has announced on his Instagram account that he has signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers.  The 29-year-old Bell played for the Dallas Cowboys last season as a reserve, but he started for five years with the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans.  Bell will compete with Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy and Adam Pankey for snaps while the team waits for Bryan Bulaga to return from a knee injury.  Bulaga may have to be placed on the “physically unable to perform” list if he isn’t ready to go by September.

Ethan Happ Returns For Senior Season At Wisconsin

The decision was expected, but Badgers fans are still happy it’s finally official — Ethan Happ will return to play for the University of Wisconsin next season as a senior.  Happ graduated earlier this month and he waited to make the announcement until after he met with Coach Greg Gard.  N-B-A teams told him he needed another year of preparation to be ready and he wouldn’t be a first-round pick.  Because Happ didn’t sign with an agent, he was eligible to return to college basketball.  Although he didn’t get an invitation to the N-B-A draft combine, Happ did have the chance to work out for several teams.
