[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 50990, member: 167"] Here is a non-Packer opinion now that some more details are known. It comes from The Daily Rumor Mill. [b]GREEN DEAL GOOD FOR PACK, BAD FOR PLAYER The more we think about the one-year deal signed on Sunday by Packers running back Ahman Green, the more perplexed we are by the move. The base salary is only $1.8 million, we're told. And he can earn up to $3.2 million more in incentives. According to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, there was a "modest" signing bonus. For the Packers, it's a no-lose deal. If Green can't recover from a serious quadriceps injury, then they can cut the cord, eating only the "modest" signing bonus. If he does recover, the most they have to pay for a guy who could then still go out and put up a solid season is $5 million, assuming he hits all of his incentives. The fact that Green still faces a potential suspension for 2005 domestic violence charges also might have played into the team's thinking. For Green, why not wait to see whether the CBA gets extended before doing the deal? Although other teams might not have been willing right now to do what the Packers did, they might have been more inclined to do something in the future, especially if $10 million in extra cap room suddenly arrives via a new CBA. As it stands, Green has no guarantees of any kind. The decision to sign him now also might have been aimed at nudging Lord Favre toward a decision on his own future. Now that Favre knows Green is under contract for 2006, there's one less unknown for Him as He decides whether to grace us all with a return for at least one more 20-pick season. And if Favre decides to pack it in, maybe Green gets released before his salary becomes fully guaranteed as of the team's regular-season opener. Either way, the Packers got the better end of this one, by far[/b] An independent opinion that I think is incorrect on the violence part of the evaluation. I disagree with the evaluation that Green didn't get a good deal. No other team would give him a contract with these numbers. Green if he has a good year will have the opportunity to sign a better deal next year. I think Green got the best deal he could. A deal that is better than expected. With performance a deal paying him in line with his previous contract. Backing up Gado or splitting time with Gado the backfield is better than with Davenport. I think Herron once into the system and knowledge of the offense will suprise people with his ability. [/QUOTE]
