Z always seems to be chasing a little bigger paycheck. Guess I can't blame him. But he does seem to wear out over the course of a season - he relies on his violent explosiveness, I think, and as he wears down over the season he seems to lose that, then start guessing and taking shots to get to the QB that may or may not be part of the plan.
My impression anyway.
Z has received the upfront money on the deal already and wants to be released so he can do that again. Typical athlete. Can't wait for next CBA.
I read he isn't happy because he will "only" receive 13.8M in cash for year 2
doesn't make much senseQuote:

but you never know
he only got a 5 million dollar signing bonus, the meat of the contract is in the salaries and roster bonusesQuote:

thats kinda what i'm thinking tooQuote:

IDK. his current deal looks pretty damn good to me
Z is glad you're not his agent, Red.
If he hits the open market someone will drop a $20 mil bonus on him. Teams are crazy. He would effectively get a 2yr/40 mil with like 2 years he will never see on the back end.Quote:

Pass rushers are always at a premium.
If MIN says they want to keep him that makes patching up that relationship interesting.

Yep. At last, something we can all agree is a good thing for the Packers. And 1 year 6M seems pretty reasonable for both sides.Quote:

@AdamSchefter
Jets are actively working to reach an agreement with Packers’ free-agent WR Allen Lazard, per league sources. There is another team involved, and no final decision, but the Jets are trying to reunite Lazard and OC Nathaniel Hackett.
Supposedly AR wants the Jets to sign Jordy Nelson before he finally commits.Quote:
