Yet another sign that TT's ego is far larger than anyone ever expected.
Effin moron......

Or you know, Grant's agent is asking for way too much based on only half a season's work. Why is everything always TT's fault?

I think it's the asshole media asking loaded and leading questions.....

[Brohm]

I hope the agent isn't thinking that Grant is comparable to Hester. Who's the moron then?

As the omni-potent king of all that is packer nation TT must take the blame along with the praise.

Sounds like Ted offered him twelve bucks an hour, with a raise in six months to thirteen and a half.

Or, Numb's being sarcastic.

Since when do agents whine to the press about contract negotiations. This dude needs to be fired immediately and Grant needs a real agent.

[falco]

what is the date by which he must report to get an accrued season? or is that irrelevant since he has not signed his tender?

[Fritz]

Seems like lotsa agents use the media as a bargaining tool.

Y'kniw, if Grant owned the only football, he could just take it and go home. He'd have a hell of a lot more leverage that way.

to me, this whole thing is going to have a bigger impact on our team this year than the favre controversy

I think his agent is taking advantage of the Favre situation knowing many fans are upset with TT and his handling of that. Clearly he's trying to turn even more fans against TT in hoping he lands a big deal for Grant. Grant played half a season. He doesn't deserve Hester type money. Hold your ground TT.

Well if it backfired on Favre, what in hell makes him think this will work in Grant's favor especially knowing how tight teams keep these negotiations. Grant has to remember that the Packers don't actually HAVE to do shit. Grant at this point practically IS slave labor (well-paid for a slave but still) and if he's not careful could wind up right out of a job.

Agreed. I lost all respect for Herman when he started complaining about not being contacted by the Packers for a whole TWO DAYS.

He's talking to the media after every minor discussion with the organization and trying to get the media on his side, a la Favre. Grant needs a new agent who will understand that even if he gets underpaid now, Ted'll take care of him if he outperforms his contract, just like Driver, Harris, Kampman, and every other veteran on this roster.

Heck, Hester didn't even deserve Hester money

He won't be out of a job. It worked for Javon Walker. Walker got two huge deals if memory serves me correctly by whining and getting traded despite being damaged goods.
