It was more than Green even thought he was going to get in Free agency. Once the offer was made, a call was made to GB to see if they could match. Green said that he would have stayed even if the offer was close but it wasn't. The packers didn't budge much from their initial offer of 2mil. So green took the Houston offer. He signs this morning. Green will keep his house in GB and live there in the off season. He is also keeping his lakehouse 45 min away from GB. Even Green admits he was overpaid. He understands GB's position. The comments of the good and bad were toward what I had said before. Many of the Packers feel they are underpaid. Oh, well....then they shouldn't have signed their contracts. Personally, I hate to see him go but I understand Ted's strategy and pure business sense of not overpaying. We may pay the same for a first rounder like Lynch but he will have more udpside for potential and longevity. I think Ted has a good strategy of not risking the long term good of the team to overpay for today. It will show in the next few years. We may not like the sentimental side of his decisions but his business acumen is IMO excellent.</blockquote>
