Packers sign Bigby to deal: The Green Bay Packers have signed DB Atari Bigby to a one-year contract as an exclusive rights free agent, a source familiar with the situation said Friday. The signing, which was first reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on its Web site, was confirmed to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Packers did not plan to make an official announcement. Bigby, a 5-foot-11, 210-pound safety out of Central Florida, made his debut for the Packers on Christmas Day 2006 against Chicago. He beat out Marquand Manuel for the starting position in training camp last year and gained a reputation as a hard hitter in the Packers' defensive secondary. (Updated 03/24/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Bigby proved to be a hard-hitting, ball hawk for the Packers, and Fantasy owners should expect him to have plenty of upside in 2008. Worth at least a middle- to late-round pick as a No. 3 DB, figure that Bigby has potential for a 100-tackle season. In 2007, Bigby notched 86 tackles (66 solo) with five interceptions, nine passes defensed and three forced fumbles. (Updated 03/24/2008).
