[QUOTE="ArizonaPackerFan, post: 725, member: 53"] I'd hate to lose Green, but I believe in an old baseball saying I heard a GM say that says something like it's better to trade a away player too soon in his career than too late. In Green's case we wouldn't be trading him, but the analogy still applies. I think it's very risky spending big bucks on guys who are nearing 30. He's not 30 yet, but the majority of his contract would be for years after he's 30. I'd hate to be stuck with a declining player who has a big salary like we did with Antonio Freeman. It's kind of a cold business at times because I really like what Ahman has done for us over the years, but from a business standpoint I think we might be better off not giving him the huge contract he wants. We need the money to build up the defense in my opinion, and I don't want a huge contract to tie our hands with the salary cap like Freemon's seemed to do. [/QUOTE]
