Re: John Hadl to Packers in 1973?
It indicates that Hadl was being shopped around, considering that it was just a couple weeks later that he was sent to L.A. I don't doubt that the Packers were at least contacted. Yes ... Hadl wanted out, wanted to go to a winner, said he though he had six or so years left. Bears asked about him. P...
