That would put him somewhere in the middle of the top 5, I believe? It's possible that as much as $2 - $3 mill a year of that will be roster bonus, and incentives that are easily reachable. It will also more than likely provide that he would become a free agent after the contract expires. Right now, I do believe he has the Packers by the short hairs, because if they don't renew him now, and he opts to play out next season without a new contract, he's a free agent. He'd be in a position to make a boat load of front money, and a contract that he'd dictate the amount, and someone would pay it. That is, assuming he doesn't hit the wall next year, and flame out. That is always a possibility. It has happened way too often in the past for promising QBs.It's going to be up to the Packers to roll the dice on this one. They have practically no choice. Of course, one of those four seasons would be next year, which would be rolled over into part of the new contract.NOTE: It is possible that the total per year could be on an escalating basis, each year being based on the average of the top 5, or even something that guarantees him even more.</blockquote>
