2015 $ 8,300,000 $ 2,800,000 $ 100,000 $ 11,200,000
2016 $ 10,100,000 $ 2,800,000 $ 100,000 $ 13,000,000
2017 $ 11,100,000 $ 2,800,000 $ 100,000 $ 14,000,000
2018 $ 11,100,000 $ 2,800,000 $ 100,000 $ 14,000,000
2019 $ 10,400,000 $ - $ 100,000 $ 10,500,000
If Samwise calls it a career, Packers would only be paying $4M more to Haden. Plus, cap's gonna go up next season by 10-20 M. And Thompson can always cook the cap.

Shields' a good corner but he ain't lockdown good with shutdown potential. Haden would be an upgrade over Shields, although I would be extremely jolly with both as Packers.

When Sherman ingeniously traded for Harris, Harris was in his late 20's. When C-Wood fell into Thompson's lap - Prime Time said Wood was done; Bucs wanted to move him to saftey - Wood was in his late 20's. Haden's in his late 20's. The math favors Haden becoming the next great Packer shutdown corner.
