Veteran's minimum with a $10k signing bonus. $100k per game played bonus.

In reality, the answer is no.

I don't want Sam's scrambled brains on my conscience.

Samwise still has his ephemeral youth. If he wants to play and can still play, let him play. Sheilds might have to face the music when his youth withers, as most of us do, but life's a short trip anyway. As Napoléon Bonaparte once said, "In my bygone youth, I fought gloriously, fucked greedily and lived humbly."

While Shields was never a shutdown corner, he was a pretty damn good corner for an undrafted free agent. He's probably still better than any of the hocus-pocus corners currently on the Packers' roster. I, for one, would love to see Shields back in the Green and Gold.

If the Packers bring back Shields, I bet he starts opposite King, with Randall in the slot.

Just remember, Napolean also thought Borodino was the death blow to the Russkies, and didn't employ the imperial guard for a decisive victory. Belichick would have.

Shields will no doubt be able to play when he's 44. Just like TO.

Did you guys read the interview? He says if he comes back and gets even one more concussion, he's done. So say he comes back and is solid for awhile. Then his egg head gets jarred a bit and he gets concussed. I don't want to see a secondary built on a paper foundation.

lol

My point was, if Shields still enjoys ballin', and he loves the frogskins and fame and perks associated with being an NFL playa, he should return while he still has kung fu.

Remember, it's not the concussions but the repeated micro traumas that do the real lasting damage

That's what he says now. But if he comes back and gets one more, he will miss the rest of the season and then probably decide to come back and give it one more shot. It's just one more.

Don't want to worry about those either. Let him get those in his everyday life, like when I think I got one when rear ended on the highway.

Considering that Lane Taylor stepped in and played quite well, I'd say exactly the right time.
