Deciding the Best Free-Agent Signing in Each NFC Team’s History

Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White was a trailblazer in free agency, becoming one of the first star players to join a new team on a lucrative contract.

White received a four-year, $17 million contract to join the Green Bay Packers in 1993. Many top free agents will earn that in one season—or in one signing bonus—once the legal tampering period begins Monday to kick off the frenzy.

White left the Eagles for the Packers in 1993 and went on to win a Super Bowl.
