COOK ASKED FOR MORE MONEY
Posted by Mike Florio on August 7, 2008, 9:33 a.m.
Agent Bus Cook, whose $360,000 payday was reinstated once Brett Favre’s $12 million base salary was absorbed by the Jets, reportedly wanted even more money from Favre’s new team.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Cook asked for a raise for Favre. It didn’t happen.

Under Favre’s current contract, he’s due to earn salaries of $13 million in 2009 and $14 million in 2010. That’s a total of $39 million over three years.

What's the old saying? "Follow the money."

This Favre mess was(is) more about money than anyone wants to admit.

WTF. Does Cook got a thing for making it rain at the strip clubs or what? You'd think he would have plenty of money.

Maybe from Cook's perspective it was.

[sheepshead]

Cook's an idiot.

[MTPackerfan]

Cook was a big part of this "Come Back", no doubt. He lost a huge payday when Brett retired.

I'm sure Favre made Cook very wealthy...he's a leach.

Guess what that is his job to make himself and his client more money if this was about more money to Brett he would have took the 25 million personal appearance fee he didn't so shut the fuck up old man.

Cook has made mistakes, but he's not really the "villain." He's taking some of the criticism for Favre, but I'm sure he's doing what Favre wants him to do.

Lets be honest, it's what they both wanted. It was about the money for Cook, for Brett, for Deanna too. Brett wouldn't have taken up the 25 million dollar offer from Murphy if it was about the money, because that 25 million would have paid out over 10 years. By playing, Favre stands to make 39 million over just 3 years. And he had Cook ask for a raise on top of that. Of course it has alot to do with the money. It probably had quite a bit to do with playing football as well, but don't presume that it wasn't about the money.

And potentially, the $20 million are still available when he finally does retire, at least according to the Packers when this was being bandied about.

Don't call me old!

Of course Cook wants more cash, who doesn't? He'll never get anywhere with a new contract for Favre from the Jets as once Brett REALLY retires, it's instant cap room for the Jets. No way they mess with that at all. No way.

[Lurker64]

I'm not even sure how the Jets are going to fit Favre's existing contract under the cap (they didn't have much room left a couple weeks ago), let alone give him a raise.

Cutting Pennington will help.

Careful, you're fueling all the "Jets are going to re-trade him" talk.

I'm not either. They were 2 mil below the cap yesterday, and if they release Pennington today then they are 8 mil below the cap. Favre has a 12 million dollar contract. Releasing Pennington only gets them about halfway there. I wonder what else they are going to do?

Right now, I am in favor of the Jets trading him to the Vikings. We'd get three first rounders from the Jets and the Vikings would have to give up more than that to get him.

I can say that since there's no way it can happen, though.

[Harlan Huckleby]

An agent asking for more money? Outrageous!
