Green Bay --- As of Friday evening, the odds of Sam Shields being back with the Green Bay Packers looked pretty good.

The restricted free agent was given a second-round tender by the Packers which, if Shields signs the deal, is good for $2.023 million over one season. Shields has until 10:59 (CST) Friday to sign an offer sheet with another team. So far, according to a source, Shields has not signed any offer sheets.

This is one guy that I figured on the RFA market that might snag an offer... maybe one that toyed with the Packers cap space this year or something..

It could make them vulnerable to RFA offers for Shields as teams would know the Packers wouldn't have as much flexibility as they currently do. It may sound good in theory, I guess, but anything to do with Sam Shields likely has no impact on resigning Aaron Rodgers.

Shields really developed into a solid corner, with him and Hayward, the CB position has a bright future.

I just think with Shields and a corner hungry league, that he would have drawn an offer... especially with only a 2nd rounder tender and him being only 25. Couple that with a couple years of league experience.

Good for us. Deadline passed.

The NFL rules state that the league day ends at 4 PM Eastern Time. The deadline for NFL teams to submit offer sheets for other teams' Restricted Free Agents is Friday, April 19th. Cornerback Sam Shields, who received a second-round tender from the Packers, did not get any offer sheets from any other teams by 4 PM Friday. Put that all together and you can see that Sam Shields is now guaranteed to be a member of the Green Bay Packers for the 2013 season.

Shields' current tender will pay him $2.023 million this season if he signs it. Of course, the Packers appear to be interested in signing the young corner to a long-term deal this offseason to keep him in Green and Gold beyond 2013. Any extension would naturally affect his cap hit this year, as it would likely involve a signing bonus and adjustments to Shields' base salary. The good news is that there is no longer a chance of him playing elsewhere this year while Ted Thompson and company work on an extension.

There is no guarantee that Shields plays for GB. He could refuse to sign. I do think they will get a deal worked out. This is good news. I am waiting the great news that he actually inks a 4 year deal.

Hope he wants to stay in Green Bay.
