[QUOTE="sschind, post: 781323, member: 10247"] First of all are you sure it isn't Rodgers side that is holding up the deal? Unless you are advocating the Packers give him whatever he wants with no negotiation they have to have an offer on the table (or at least talked about) if its not up to his agents liking he is the one holding it up. Right now Rodgers has only one card up his sleeve and that is to hold out and he has refused to play it. It is his only leverage but as time goes by he does gain a bit. Still with 4 years of Rodgers as the QB there is no urgency. Second it seems like the media and the fans are the only ones who are seeing a disconnect. Both sides have said they would like to get a deal done but both seem to know it will happen eventually and neither side has shown a whole lot of concern. While it may seem like Rodgers wants a percentage of the cap he has said that such a notion did not come from his camp so how it seems that this is what he wants I am not sure. Third, unless Rodgers is lying it IS NOT a distraction for him and I have not seen any indication from anyone else on the team that it is a distraction for them either. The one part you did get right is that it IS a huge distraction for the fans but we don't matter. Maybe it could get settled in a day if Rodgers stayed out of practice but since he had repeatedly said he is not concerned why would that even be a thought? Yes, it might come back to bite the Packers but if they gave in right now and simply gave him whatever he wants ( as you seem to want them to do) that could come back and bite them too. The only potential lack of class they may have showed Nelson was the league minimum offer. They may have been further ahead to not offer him anything and simply say we are moving on. I wonder how many people who are worrying about not getting Rodgers' contract redone are saying that Julio Jones should just shut the hell up and play out the deal he signed. [/QUOTE]
