[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 50959, member: 196"] It sounds like it is $2 million, with $3 million in incentives -- which is a great deal. The only financial investment the club has in him is the signing bonus portion of that $2 million. If he suffers a setback during the off-season or doesn't perform well enough to make the team, they can cut him without having to pay the base salary and the incentives. Green's incentives are thought to be tied to his rushing yards; the more yards he gains the more of the $3 million in incentives he'll receive. Look at the deal Alexander just signed and you begin to see why this was a K-Mart blue light special price for a Macy quality player. Last year, Green was paid a base salary of $4.375 million as part of a five-year, $21.5 million deal he signed before the 2001 season. Before he got hurt, he was seeking a blockbuster deal that would reward him for being [b][i]the most productive runner in the NFL from 2000-'04, when he gained 6,848 rushing yards[/i][/b][i][/i] -- something quite a few of the fickle fans around here seem to have forgotten. Green, the club's second all-time leading rusher, will report to camp as the leading candidate to start in the backfield, but he'll probably share time with Samkon Gado, who filled in for him last season. Green's contract is such a bargin that it would be in the range of many 2nd string RB in the league. I have to give Ted Thompson props on this one. I was really happy for Batman, He has worked hard at rehab and is a great back when healthy. :) [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/green_ahman/photo29.jpg[/img] So I was very happy with this signing, especially with it coming at such a decent price. :joy: [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/green_ahman/photo39.jpg[/img] But I have to admit, as happy as I was for myself and Ahman Green… :beer: [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/green_ahman/photo46.jpg[/img] … they don’t seem to run even a close 3rd to how happy we will all be if he is so successful that he collects all of the possible bonus money he can earn -- because it would mean the team is humming with him running to the form that made him the top back in the league for that great recent stretch. :party6: [img]http://images.packers.com/pg/green_ahman_2005/photo7.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
