In one such raid, the DEA arrested several members of a drug-trafficking operation with ties to Mexico and the haul was what you might expect: heroin, weapons and jewelry -- including a 2010 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl ring that a team executive had previously reported stolen, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday.
It was unclear how the traffickers came to have the ring in their possession, but it's the third such championship-ring-related story we've seen in recent weeks. First, former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor had his ring up for auction (Charlie Sheen, it turns out, didn't end up buying it), and it was news when a Packers employee in the team's facilities and fields department pawned her Super Bowl ring.
If you're in the market for such a possession, good news: a quick eBay search turns up several Super Bowl rings although, as you might expect, they don't come cheap. A 2004 Patriots ring is currently $8,500, and a 1993 Cowboys ring will set you back $45,000.
