Cook and Packers Have Broken Off Talks

[pbmax]

There is one thing we may all be assured:

Ted Thompson will never suffer the financial woes of Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks on the Green Bay Packers. Ted only knows one game:

Playing it safe and that game never wins big.

Is that English clear enough for your impeccable taste pbmax?

Looks good Ed.

Martellus might have something to say about playing it safe though.

[pbmax]

and this year the packers will loose him well before march 28

You at least got this correct.

[Bretsky]

You at least got this correct.

first time for everything...lol

[Fritz]

And when this too blows up in Ted's face? They will once again be absolutely fucked at TE.

Your scrotum shriveled up pretty quick there, Rut.

You willing to man up and admit you were wrong about "when this blows up in Ted's face"?

[Bossman641]

Packers apparently offered more years and a higher salary to cook than they did Bennet. Will be interesting to see what he ultimately signs for. I think he fucked up big time.

If the Packers offered more than what they paid Bennett...and Cook turned it down...he's probably feeling rather stupid right now. The market for his services just dried up rather quickly when the hungriest team in the market for a TE just signed another guy for less.

fuck you both

This is why I like both you and Bretsky, you old drunken ape. I disagree with about 80% of what you guys post, but when Ted does something different than you say he would, you two man up. That's what makes for a real back-and-forth - letting the facts inform opinions.

And boy oh boy, ol' Jared wanted to come back so he could be the number one TE and play with a great QB in an organization with a shot at a SB. How long is that list of teams now?

Hey, wait a minute.

Think NE will sign Cook now?

They've already traded for the Colts' Dwayne Allen. Signing Cook would be a lot of money tied up at the TE position.

a "source with knowledge of the situation" just came out and said the packers were not offering cook more money the they gave bennett. they were offering 6 million a year (with lots of incentives), and bennetts official number will be 7 million per year with no "fluff"

no, who in the world would want everyone else to think the packers were offering more then 7 million for cook?

maybe a certain agent?

First, the source insists that Bennett received three-year, $21 million package, a “clean” $7 million per year arrangement with no incentives or fluff. (The contract eventually will be filed and reported on, so the truth on that specific claim eventually will come out.) The source also says that the most the Packers offered Cook was $6 million per year, and that included incentives.

Am I the only one that would not be surprised to see them sign All Day Pederson ?
Look with Hoody Genius dud with Blount; thoughts to ponder.
