[QUOTE="net, post: 31369, member: 200"] As usual, certain posters can't see reality if it bites them in the ****. Green has talked repeatedly of getting a contract comparable to LaDanian Tomlinson. Think he's worth that? He doesn't want any other contract. Being sentimental is counterproductive. When you work, do you expect extra special treatment from your boss after the day's work is done? The boss looks at your work and what you are paid, the company's needs and if the two match, you stay employed. In Green's case, he just finished 21 million dollars. He's been hurt, soon to be 29, there's a bunch of good young running backs in college, and he wants big money? The arguments that he did this and that in the past answers itself. It is in the past. The risk to the Packers is way too great to give him anything even near what he is making now. He's injured and collecting his money now, isn't he? So his contract is essentially for four years for 21 million. Lets not forget his tendency toward fumblitis which got him a one-way ticket out of Seattle and was tolerated in Green Bay...by Mike Sherman....Pack66. A short term contract? No player or agent wants that. They want guaranteed money, with long-term ties. In the end, it's business, not sentiment. With the other players scalding the salary cap next year and many, many young players to sign, giving an aging, now apparently whining, running back a whopper of a contract just because he did something in the past forgets the central point. The next contract is for what he will do IN THE FUTURE...not in the past. Bring on Samkon. [/QUOTE]
