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 don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
I read he isn't happy because he will "only" receive 13.8M in cash for year 2

doesn't make much senseOriginally Posted by bobblehead

but you never know

he only got a 5 million dollar signing bonus, the meat of the contract is in the salaries and roster bonuses
I looked up his deal and you are right. He didn't get a ton of cash last year. After all bonuses it was just under 14M. I guess he thinks after being healthy and getting 10.sacks he can get some big signing bonus. At his age, if he plays put this deal he isn't likely to break the bank on his next.

thats kinda what i'm thinking too
i wonder if the current deal had a tiny signing bonus because he was coming of the bad injury, and somehow thinks he can get a big signing bonus or something
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.

Z is good for about 8-10 games and then he tails off. Also, injuries. You kind of wonder if he's going to get a character-concerns rep after GB and MIN, but some team will give him 10M easy for 8-10 games of about a sack per game and then a disappearing act.
Pass rushers are always at a premium.
If MIN says they want to keep him that makes patching up that relationship interesting.
Packers retain Kesean Nixon on a one-year deal.
Good news. First good solid Packer news is a while.

Packers holding out for a better comp package from the less options Jets as we speak?
Whole lotta shakin goin on.

Thank god. I thought we finally found a return guy and we’re just gonna let him walk out the door
Why just 1 year though? Seems odd
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.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
I don't think it's the Packers holding up the show, KY. Maybe Rodgers is doing it because he'd be embarrassed if all he could draw was a second round pick.

Yeah, I'd agree. That would be dirty dirty pool.
This deal will go down in the next couple days

bears sign tremaine edmunds to a big ass deal
Cobb next?Adam Schefter
@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.
