You guys need to make your way over to the FYI section for a good honest Amish discussion.

[KYPack]

Skin is the moderator now?

Shit, there goes the neighborhood.

Agreed. gonna be hard to replace those 15 catches.

Who will pick up the slack? Can it be done? Do we have someone who is ready to take the next step and demand the ball?

Not to mention chemistry. Chemistry now down to 6.9.

Is Ruvell a 'vested veteran'? If so, he won't be signed until after the first week'
s games because the team won't be on the hook for his whole salary.

Martin didn't have a negotiated contract. He is a vet minimum kind of guy.

$ aren't a factor in signing RM.

He'll make about 620K this year, not a huge factor. I'd think a team will sign a kid rather than give him a look.

I don't get caught up in contracts and the rules and such...i leave that to the bean counter types, but i believe, according to PB that RM had a contract with the Pack for a million.

So, what is that? Is that not a negotiated contract?

I think what KY is saying is "Ruvell is the kind of guy that if you call him up and offer him a 1-year deal at the vet minimum, he's in uniform within two days time."

Not like a guy like Marvin Harrison, who you call him up and the second question is "how much?".

Then why did he say he didn't have a negotiated contract?

I do agree about Ruvell is the type you offer a vet min contract.

Either way, not signing him on the packer's mill contract or 600k...it says quite a bit that teams aren't signing him now rather than lose a chance at this guy.

Chemistry will go up 2 points at least on your team upon signing.

You and PB may be right. If it was a mil, that's a negotiated contract all righty.

I had him at 620 K off that GBP salary cap spreadsheet.

If he is making a million, the team that signs him would be on the hook for that. if he's getting 620 that the vet min for a 4 yr guy.

I overlooked PB's post, my error on that one.

I didn't see anything on that deal other than PB's post.

As a vested PRat veteran, I will have to yield to PB and his Fritz Shurmur Avatar.

I thought we kept him because he was supposed to be our "big and fast" target down field. I never thought he was that fast and he just didn't seem to "fit" when he was in. He is a decent guy and all and could be a #3 or 4 on another team in the right system. I think Driver set the mold for the type of WR's Green Bay is interested in, smaller, faster, and tough as hell.
