And while I'm not sure whether or not the Giants practice squad was a "hell hole," I can't blame him for wanting more than the minimum salary for being the #1 halfback on a team that is contending for a championship. The NFL is by nature a high-stakes, high-risk venture, maybe even more so at RB than any other position. Ryan Grant did not get to where he is by being timid, so it would surprise me if he folded his hand and agreed to play for the minimum, or something close to it. The fact that they are in negotiations shows that the Packers have some understanding of his situation, and it's encouraging that no bad words have been exchanged. If he does not sign a contract within the first few days of training camp, though, then we'll have a problem. I'll wait till then to start passing judgment on either side.</blockquote>
