Negotiating in the press is bad business. With the Packers in recent years, renegotiations have just happened...no prior press quoting anybody about it. Those cases where the player starts grousing have ended in departure. These things would all work out better if the players took the same tack as Driver..."I'll take a pay cut to stay." <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /> I'm not sure what "deserving to get paid" means exactly.  It's not like this contract is some kind of "thank you" for past service...it's about what you expect in the future.  That's business.  It's also about who else you might lose in order to keep him, and whether you have a suitable, less costly replacement in mind. I started talking about Jennings possible departure around mid-season last year at the GBPG forum...the consensus was I was nuts, it's impossible. Well, here we are. Too many factors have been adding up. Jennings recent comments add to the list. I won't say it won't happen, but at this point I'd put the odds at no better than 50/50.</blockquote>
