[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 617667"] Possible. Doubtful. Tolzien signed his $1.2 million one year deal for this season, a modest amount for a #2 NFL QB, before free agency opened. If he thought he had value in the market as a competitor for a starting job, why didn't he test it now? The most plausible speculation would be that if his agent "drew interest from a handful of teams", as Silverstein put it, it would have been to compete for a backup job, without the $100,000 guaranteed in his Packer deal. If the Packers offered Tolzien 2 year deal with more guarantees (a year in a contract without more guarantees is not year at all) and he turned it down, what pray tell, would he be expecting to happen in this coming season to increase his value? Perhaps an injury to Rodgers so he can get on the field? Perhaps, but that's not a likely eventuality. I doubt a player in Tolzien's position would leave guaranteed money on the table to roll the dice on that outcome. [/QUOTE]
