  • An Al Harris idea

    Since al harris wants a new contract and IMO hes to old for a new one, why not give him however much cap space we have left after we sign our rookies and any other possible cheap free agents. Say we have 2m in space left, why not give him a 2m dollar rise just this year. This way he will be happy this year and maye one more and then we can cut him. This may not be possible for what ever reason, but its just an idea................

    We will need to save SOME for an emergency...what if so many people go down this season that we need to sign a bunch of guys like last year?

      They may need that space to renegoiate later on. Harris has one to two good years max, so i'd wait him out.

          Maybe PaCkFan_n_MD IS Al Harris!

            What message does this proposal send the other 52 players on the team?


            Maybe Al would be the only player in camp the day after that happened.

              I could live with that idea, PackFan, rather than turn him flat down.

              After all, were there any others in the secondary all that helpful

              last year? So maybe as a small thanks? I know, I know, my kind

              of thinking would bust the bank,
              Is it really a halo or
              just a swelled head ?

                You simply can't manage the roster in this fashion. Not only is it a dangerous precedent, you need to maintain a reserve for other moves during the year, as others have mentioned.

                We'll be OK at corner this year Harris or no Harris.

                  Well I won't go that far ( I'm not really excited over the C.Woodson signing as $ could have been better spent ) but for sure Al Harris is not gaining a thing for himself by playing the "Jeee I want more $ routine".

                  Get in there Alllll, and act like 'a team player'. . . and maybe?

                  It didn't work for Jawhine Walker and it did for Donald Driver. Which player does Al Harris resemble today? That in essence is. . . what it's always about.Today and certainly 'of late'.

                  What you did for me (the Packers) TODAY?!!

                  If Al Harris is wanting to be a problem, so what. . . .we have way. . . . too many other one's.

                    I got much love for Harrisment but NO! DOing this would be a terrible move by TT. Maye add some incentives for INT or something but cant just give him the $$$. He has a fair contract and if he plays lights out this season maybe but I think Carroll is gonna be taking his job.

                        OK.

                        I think Carroll will "get it" in his 3rd year.

                        Charles Woodson is a "Northern guy" I feel he'll flourish in the WI/Pack environs and will play at a high level.

                        One or two of the young guys can fill in at nickle & maybe, just maybe Hawkins can help at dime.

                        If Al Harris wants to get paid, he can play. If not, he can sit.

                        If I'm wrong, you can tease me, & I'll take it like a man.

                              This pay for performance goes two ways Al

                              A raise? I am all for it - but lets start of by shrinking your base a bit

                              And then give you all kinds of incentives to earn big bucks

                              You players are kind of like little sub-contractors anyway - selling your services - the good small business men and women guarantee their work. If fact you could go out and buy the insurance that protects the Packers in case you screw up a knee or something while performing your job - isn't that what other small buisness men and women have to do in the real world?

                              What do ya say Al?

                              Otherwise - shut up and play for what you signed for
