Grant's Agent Hung Up on Packers Negotiator

[SnakeLH2006]

Bus Cook is getting too much flak....He's really Grant's agent, but under an alias...He's trying to stick it to the Weasel. It's making too much sense.

bump...

I love how I got bashed when I said HE SHOULD BE PAID like an average RB... 4/5 mill a year...

Sure the incentives can make that contract a bit bigger, but hey, if he can get those extra yards then he deserves the extra money...

I guess all you people who came down harshly saying he "proved nothing for half of a season" are astonished by this signing and should be T.T's front door step tomorrow morning...

come on... I want to hear what the 4/5 posters that were bashing the idea of giving him average RB money for half a year that he performed... What do you think of the deal the packers gave him???

I like the deal, because it ensures he gets paid like an average starter only if he produces like an average starter. If he bombs out, then this contract isn't worth as much. It provides protection for both sides. He still has to earn his contract, and that I'm happy with. To be honest, it is still a little more than what I'd have agreed to. But it's not so outlandish that I'm going to critize the deal.

I agree with you Gunakor. Although IMO the contract is worth more than I like if he does bomb out...looks like he'll get $8mil over the two first years regardless, unless he manages to get himself cut.

The guaranteed money is stacked in the first two years of the deal. So if he doesn't pan out after being given a 2 year leash, he can be cut with little cap hit. I have no problem with a 2 year leash after what he did last year. And I don't see us with any cap issues in the next 2 years that 4 million per year for a starter is going to hurt us in any way. It's fine.
