The starting RB is a a little more important than a rookie. Besides, I really don't remember the last time a 1st round pick of ours wasn't into camp on time.Originally posted by pbmaxPIP and GBR, what did you guys used to do when ALL first round picks missed time because there was no cap or rookie pool?
And did Ken Ruettgers yearly training camp vacation cause heart palpitations as well?

I just don't want to see a rehash of Bubba. The guy missed alot of practices...finally got his new contract and just wasn't the same IMO.

You can never have enough good running backs...Originally posted by JustinHarrellI'm starting to buy the Brandon Jackson Koolaid. I've been a big Wynn supporter but his latest concussion is making me think others may have been right that he is soft.</delurk>

As Harry would say, "Go ahead, make my day."Originally posted by digitaldeanIf D's want to go 9-11 in the box, they'll get beat in the short passing game.Originally posted by MOBB DEEPunfortunately, 9-11 man fronts
Even a mediocre QB can beat 9 in the box if they have sufficient blocking.
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

This is great news, but I have to wonder who caved first? Did Herman shove his ridiculous demand and compromise? Or were the Packers so eager to avoid further bad press that they made Grant one of the highest paid members of our offense?
The story behind this deal could be fascinating.

Grant is only one of the highest paid players on our offense if he performs like one. That's the beauty of an incentive based deal.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to grow

Interesting, here's what McCarthy said about the Grant holdout this morning:I wonder if he told Bennet that it was time for Grant to get his ass to camp? Grant isn't the type to hold out for top billing, so he probably told Herman to forget it already, make a deal, and get this done.Packers coach Mike McCarthy repeatedly has declined to discuss the "business matter" keeping unsigned running back Ryan Grant out of training camp. But eight practices into camp and only nine days from the preseason opener, McCarthy made his strongest comments to date on the situation today.
"He's not helping himself. I think everybody agrees with that," McCarthy said. "The thing that concerns me about Ryan, he went about everything that he needed to do throughout the spring, he was very conscientious. I know Edgar Bennett is in daily contact with him, but it's time for him to get to camp.
"He is still a young player. He doesn't have a high level of experience, and it's time for him to get here and be a part of what is going on. It's obviously a contract negotiation, it's a business matter that I really don't get too involved with or get too caught up in, but I would really like to see Ryan get here." http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/...er/index.shtml

Here's the details for the Grant deal:
It seems that they switched it to a 4 year deal over which time Grant will earn between 18 and 30 million dollars depending on his production over the next two years.
Seems like a fairly reasonable compromise, actually.
Edit: Grant will report tomorrow! Heck he might even make it for the scrimmage.
