    Well thats great news that we signed him, but I was hoping that was a typo and said 5 years/39. Almost 10mil/year, hmmm. Maybe with the cap going up it won't look that bad in a few years.

        The contract has $12.5 mil in guaranteed money. If Shields regresses or just doesn't continue to develop, the Packers can get out of that contract without too much headache in a few seasons. If he does continue to develop, then he gets paid accordingly. Probably fair for both sides.

          Shields has better make up speed than any DB on this squad and most DB in the NFL. He played awesome in the reg. season finale vs. Bears and pretty much shut down Brandon Marshall.

            Good news, even if it's more than I thought he'd get. But it's for 4 years, and with the cap going up I bet the last couple of years are going to look really good.

            I guess the CB market is strong again after a soft one in 2013. Considering PFT had him ranked as the 5th best CB available (after Talib, Davis, Verner and Asomugha) what are the others going to get? There's not much room between what Shields got and the franchise number.

              More like $15mil with his 2014 salary, it's not likely he gets cut before this year.

                Look for Pickett to be released or offered about 2 million (down from 6).
                The 6 or 4 million savings will go toward the Shield's contract.

                    Pickett is a free agent.

                          Thanks were did you find that? Or did you do (39-12.5)/4? In that case its 6.625.

                          edit: saw someone else post on another forum

                          This makes more sense the article says he makes 15 mil year one and 21 total the first two.

                            well good news, a lot of money, but with the cap expected to hit 160 by 2015 he's numbers won't hurt so bad

                            i will say its about 4 million a year more then his agent said they were looking for just a couple weeks ago. still gotta wonder if we couldn't have gotten him for cheaper if we had tried to sign him during the year,

                            but oh well, we got our best CB back. and now its time to talk to the other cb about taking a pay cut

                              7.5/year first two years (edit - against the cap). . Me likey (edit - still a lot of guaranteed money, he'd better play like a Deion Sanders who can tackle from time to time).
