I really think this money could have been better spent elsewhere.

You've got that right:

Demovsky has the numbers on his contract. From his Twitter feed:

Interesting to note in the Matthews deal, the only money technically guaranteed is the $20.5 million signing bonus.

Suggests his base pay this year was lowered to minimum and he will get something along the lines of 5-6 million in salary next year. Then the $3.4 mil per year cap charge and the large base salaries should start to show.

From Demovsky's blog post: http://www.packersnews.com/article/2...s-20-5-million

- Only truly guaranteed money is bonus at 20.5 mil
- $5 million roster bonus due in 2014 is likely to be paid, as is entire 2nd year package of salary and bonuses of $2 mill
- This year base is $1 mil plus $500K workout bonus
- 2 year haul of 29.02 mil dollars

2013 cap number is $6.7 million
2014 cap number goes up to $11.1 mil

You're right Woody. Sarcasm is much greater than the lowest form of wit.

Look at you ThunderDan:



What happens when you 'blow it' too often.

We shouldn't spend any money unless it's another team's free agent.

Just imagine if we signed him Team X as a UFA for $13 mil a year. We'd be so fuckin excited.

Remember, this is a guy from Socal that didn't even know where GB was. We thought for sure he'd do his time and be on his way ...

So this is good for the Pack, right?

I'm, obviously, a cap-dummy.

Its good in the short term yes. But its expensive in cap terms in 2016 and esp. 2017. Off a first glance you could dump him after 2016 and not hurt the cap too much.
