Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anubis" data-source="post: 11786" data-attributes="member: 257">I recall hearing a story once about one of the Packers that threatened to hold out for more money in the Lombardi years.  Lombardi left the room, came back a few minutes later and said, "You can renegotiate with Buffalo.  You have just been traded."Personally, I think TT should take a similar approach.  If Walker, Hunt, Grady or anyone else tries to hold out, make it crystal clear that if they don't show up for training camp, they will sit the season.  As it seems money is what they want the most, hit them where it really hurts: in the pocketbook.  It may hurt us this year to have them sidelined, but it will send a clear message to Rosengoof and any one else that Green Bay will not renegotiate with players and expects them to honour their contracts.The most amusing part about the Grady situation is the $65,000 he took earlier in the year as an advance, basically constitutes a renegotiation.  Under the Players CBA, he can't renegotiate a contract twice in one year.  Not only could he see himself without a paycheque for the season, he could find himself being fined by the NFL as well.Go Pack!Robert C.
