[QUOTE="NDPackerFan, post: 11795, member: 193"] The problem with all of this is that the teams do not honor the contracts either. They sign these players with back-loaded deals to get them for a year or two knowing they will never keep them around for the big paydays. Eventually, some of these players get cut. Like someone mentioned earlier, non-guaranteed money in the NFL puts the players in a spot as well. I still don't like players holding out for more money when they are guaranteed millions but they are in a totally different market than any of you or I, that's fer sure. Bottom line -- The Packers need to take the same approach that the Eagles take on this one. Do not re-negotiate contracts with players with more than a year on their current deal. Only talk extension with those coming up immediately in FA if you want to retain their services. Short term, the Packers will probably struggle by sitting these players. Long term, the Packers will enjoy much more success by taking this hard-line approach IMHO. [/QUOTE]
