The Packers are reportedly, and illegally,
pursuing Chris Myers.

I'm not sure if that's the case. It sounds like he's okay with it as a step towards getting a long-term contract but if he ends up going through the season under the franchise tag he may not be so thrilled. It would get him a lot more money this year than he made when he way outperformed his contract the last two seasons, but not nearly as much as he'd get with a multi-year contract in the neighborhood of those of the other top RBs. It would also put him in the position of once again not having the security of a long-term deal, so he'd bear the risk of an injury or other drop-off in production that might affect his 2013 market value.
