lol he had a great game today, impressive agility, and solid hands and footwork
j. Speaking of the all-star game no one cares about, If Donald Lee doesn't make the Pro Bowl as one of the three NFC tight ends, the voters -- public, players and coaches -- don't know what they're doing. He's strong, fast and sure-handed.
Signed a four year extension-according to JSonline.
Green Bay - The Green Bay Packers and tight end Donald Lee agreed a four-year contract extension on Monday that will pay him just under $12 million, a source said.
Lee, 27, is tied with James Jones for second on the team with 29 receptions and Lee is fourth in yards (382).
Lee's current contract, which was set to expire after this season, paid him a total of $1.475 million in base pay the past three years with Green Bay since being picked up from the Miami Dolphins, the team that drafted him out of Mississippi State in the fifth round of the 2003 draft.
Lee has become even more valuable this season with the knee injury sustained by Bubba Franks, who Lee had supplanted as the starter.
"Donald Lee is a young man that has totally bought into the offseason program," coach Mike McCarthy said Monday afternoon. "He's taken every opportunity. He's been very consistent. I can't say enough about him and his production in the first eight games."
Lee's agents, Brian Levy and Cary Fabrikant, could not be reached for immediate comment.
We'll have more information on the deal later in the day.
That is great news and an excellent move.. now lock up Williams.

I'm not sure they'll lock up Williams. They should but I don't see it coming.
I'm very happy to see Donald Lee signed long term now and for a good price tag too.
id be shocked to see us re-seign williams, far too much depth at the position to spend hi-cap dollars here
isnt it funny how LEe came from Miami and Miami took Martin this year?

My take on Williams is he is a verstile player along the front.. lock him up and wave a plugger like Cole or Pickett out for trade next offseason to shore up the running game via draft or player..
Jolly is playing at such a high level that he should unseat Pickett in a year or two.. not saying actively shop Pickett... but use it if a sensible trade comes along.
But you are correct, just doesn't seem to be of importance at this moment..

I think Pickett is playing at a Pro Bowl level this season. I wouldn't expect him to be unseated any time soon. All 3 play about the same amount of snaps. It depends on the situation.
