Re: Ryan Grant says he will not play for league minimum
What exactly has Grant done wrong? Grant is attending the off-season program, and has NOT said a single thing about "holding out" or wanting a mega-contract.
All Grant's agent has said is that "I'm optimistic that we are going to get a contract done with the Packers, and you can look at the Packers record of taking care of their own as the reason for my optimism."
Grant hasn't held out, or said he is going to. All he has yet to do is sign his EFA tender, but he's still working out with the team.
Grant has NOT asked for a lucrative long term contract. Grant's agent has NOT asked for a lucrative long term contract. That is the impression that the Packersnews.com article created, but the agents words don't support that.
Grant wants to be a Packer for a while, and he believes a contract will be done that keeps him as a Packer. That is what Grant's agent said.
Grant hasn't gone to the papers, or made a peep. Grant's agent is simply stating things as they are when asked about Grant's status: Grant wants to be a Packer beyond this year, and he is optimisitic that the Packers will take care of Grant.

Raider Pride said:Now If he maintais the same 5.1 YPC next year that he had in 7 starts last year, then he can ask, and will deserve, a long term lucrative contract.
