Bigby Signs Tender will Remain a Packer

Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby, a restricted free agent, signed his one-year tender with the team and is now under contract. His one-year deal is worth $1.545 million. A team would have had to be willing to give up a second-round pick to sign him away from Green Bay.

Bigby was an undrafted player in 2005. After failing to make the Dolphins and Jets in 2005, he landed with the Packers that year and found home. He started 22 games at safety over the past two years.

His best season came in 2007 when he started all 16 games and collected 86 tackles and 5 interceptions. In 2008 Bigby was held back because of injuries and eventually ended up on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury.
