[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 850148"] Injury settlements can be a tricky business. Here's one ex-agent's take: [URL]https://nationalfootballpost.com/negotiating-an-injury-settlement/[/URL] "I have an internal policy not to attempt an injury settlement if there’s a prognosis of 10 weeks or more. I would prefer to put the responsibility on the team to carry the player on IR until it can either prove the player is healthy or the player tells me he’s healthy enough to play." This leaves several possibilities. The agent may be letting it ride until the Packers are able to demonstrate he's healthy enough to play. The agent may judge that if Spriggs is deemed healthy he'll not likely get picked up for 53 man roster game checks (a probable scenario) so it would behoove him to stretch the process out as far as possilble. The Packers may have determined he's healthy, that the player is sandbagging, and moved to release him, but the agent has filed a grievance and the matter is in arbitration. Maybe. He'll be a free agent and I can't imagine he'll enter a camp next season with anything guaranteed other than his camp per diem checks. However, my sense would be that after 4 years of trying to get him from a project to a player they will not want to invest any more time. He might be looking for a fresh start in another organization on a 90 man roster. Or he may not love the game, has another option, and is done with it. Frankly, the possibilities are numerous. But after three years prior to his injuries, including the dislocated knee cap last December, showing little to no progress other than a weight gain, this is probably more digital ink than the matter deserves.
