Johnny Jolly reinstated, suspension lifted

Thanks..... Now I understand

For anyone who doesn't believe people are still angry with Mike Vick:

Interesting, but nothing to do with Johnny Jolly. The difference between Vick and Jolly is the difference between evil and pathetic.

The "disagree" is for the use of the word "evil". I don't think it is an applicable to either Jolly or Vick.

Jollys salary will be reduced in the offseason. League minimum or cut. Currently he is on the books for $2.5 mil

Dog fighting ain't evil huh? I guess we will have to agree to disagree about that.

Just got reduced. League min.

From rotoworld:

"The Packers have slashed DE Johnny Jolly's salary from $2.5 million to $715,000.

The deal frees up $1.8 million in cap space and puts Green Bay at $18 million under. Fresh out of the penitentiary, 30-year-old Jolly should be thankful GM Ted Thompson is giving him an opportunity to resurrect his career. Jolly has been out of football since the 2009 season, when he was a 16-game starter."

Not being funny here but being that johnny has been out of football for nearly four years, I`d jump at ANY pay I was offered !! He`s hardly in a position to demand anything more, and I would still like to give him a shot at a trial with the team.

That about sums it up. The news here is the Packers didn't outright release him.

Could still be released but looks like they are going to give him a look

Funny how that works. The guy who went to jail gets a look; the guy who beat his girlfriend but avoids the hoosegow is out the door.

League min, and then only camp invite.

Sounds like a can't lose situation for the Pack. If it works then he is cheap and a good body on the line and if not who cares...he hasn't been around or counted on in years.

Exactly...I don't know why people are upset about this. There is literally almost nothing to lose.

Blimey Texas...lol, We`ve actually agreed twice now . We`ll be exchanging christmas cards next....pmsl

hahaha I haven't said anything lately in this thread. Do you mean all the way back to the Vick/dogfighting comment? As for the Jolly thing, I like the idea of trying him out, especially for the veterans minimum. He used to be good and still might be, although I wouldn't hold my breath about it.

No mate, it was in reply to the agree with adambr 2 comment about nothing to lose. We really have nothing to lose giving Jolly a shot at least.

The guy has a disease, addiction. PED users are cheaters. I'm sure jolly wasnt proud that he was spending $500+ a day on drugs, he couldn't stop. Addiction sucks.

I can not speculate on his mind set, I don't know the man.

Thanks Bill. The last time I heard "Blimey" it was in some pirate movie, I think hahaha. I'm having fun posting politics now in the PackersHome forum - their Back Alley. I'm sure you could find PLENTY to disagree with my posts there hahaha.

cheeshead, are you saying Jolly's addiction is not as bad a thing as PEDs, and it's good he is allowed back? If so I agree with you.

Work him out and evaluate him
