That's unlikely IMO. The due diligence I was talking about is after determining a FA could help the team (IMO it's obvious both could help) to contact the agent of those players and find out where they are in negotiations. Any sane agent would be delighted to have a team ask that the agent get back to them with their best offer before signing. If that had happened and Thompson on the phone with his personnel team still decided against going after either, I still would be disappointed but I'd at least think the Packers did their jobs.We can't know for sure who the Packers talked to but here's Dougherty's story citing an NFL source in which he says the Packers didn't contact the agent of either Trevathan or Green.<a href="http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2016/03/12/packers-can-find-free-agent-bargains/81670040/" target="_blank">http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2016/03/12/packers-can-find-free-agent-bargains/81670040/</a></blockquote>
