He was a FA in '08. He was earning nothing at the time his agent & the Packers were negotiating. If what the team was offering wasn't agreeable to Grant then he had every right to wait until they ante'd up a fair amount for an NFL starter.I don't think Grant was at fault at all. The team dragged their feet hoping to get him to hastily sign a lesser offer once camp opened, believing they could convince him that it was in the best interest of his career & the team as a whole to get him in the mix even without a deal. That strategy back-fired when Grant's agent went public with the news of how the negotiations had been stone-walled by the team.I would have thought it was just a cheap attempt by another low-life agent to squeeze the most $$$ possible for his client until the team quiickly upped their offer to avoid further embarrassment.</blockquote>
