[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 226686, member: 227"] He'll be on a team that is young and on the rise, a team that believed in him and went out and got him, and a team that is located in an area that Grant likes. The Pack are a young team that still has its best days ahead of them, and saying that about a 14-4 team is very encouraging. Grant has said he wants to be a Packer for a long time. The Packers want Grant to be a part of their core for a long time. Why talk about a short term arrangement when both sides want something long-term? It's really not smart to offer Grant a one-year deal when he has shown (through his statements) that he does not want a one year deal. I think it is unfair to make such an assertion with regards to this situation. The Packers and Grant's agent have both said that the two sides have been talking. They are negotiating, it isn't as if the Packers have said "play for this or else..." It's the same with Marion Barber's agent and the Cowboys, both sides are talking but there is still no new contract for Barber. Are the Cowboys being buttholes? No, they are simply being business men. Ditto for the Packers. They are simply trying to find a contract that both sides agree on, a contract that rewards Grant for the success he had and he should have in the future, while not jeopardizing the long term cap flexibility of the Packers, especially in light of the potential 2010 uncapped year. Simply put NodakPaul, you are reading far more into the current situation with Grant than what should be read. It is not as if Grant has asked for a release or said he will not return to the Packers. If Grant felt the Packers had disrespected him, or were being unfair and buttholes, then he would've asked out. [/QUOTE]
