I don't agree with that. We paid Kampy. We paid Barnett. We paid Harris. We paid Driver. Thompson also forked out pretty good coin in free agency for Woodson.Originally Posted by MadtownPacker
Guess who else is getting that rep?
Thompson IS willing to fork out coin for guys he feels are reliable players on HIS team...with the caveat that it only happens on HIS schedule. The problem is that we don't have many players on our roster that are reliable players at this point. Quite a few weren't...which is why they weren't resigned this offseason.
If we had guys the caliber of some of these Bear players, I think Thompson would do what it took to keep the ones he felt were key pieces going forward.
Thompson and Green Bay aren't viewed as cheap...just overly conservative on taking risks.
