[QUOTE="tromadz, post: 75047, member: 306"] In 2004, Al Harris signed a five-year, $18 million contract extension. That means GB has him till 2009(when Al will be 34). That in itself is a solid deal for both parties. Al gets money, and GB COULD get a good CB till 2009(unless Al declines in talent, which happens with skill players after 30, especially around 34!!). But now it appears Harris really wants to re-work his contract, and will possibly hold out next offseason(when he is 32). Why would an organization re-work a contract to give a 32 year old CB MORE money, when they already have him under contract for two more years(at that point)? Right now both parties seem to be giving lip service about working it out next year...but I don't think Green Bay will(or should) do it at all. Signing Al to the current extension he has NOW is pretty risky, but GB probably didn't intend to keep Al till 2009(it is probably a backloaded contract, and if anybody could get info on that, that would help us see what this situation is). So this is why Al is probably doing what he's doing, holding out, but not really(until next year). The question is...do you throw a lot of money at a 32 year old cornerback(in 2007)? I really like Al Harris. His playoff interception vs the Seahawks is legendary. He is(as of right now) a very great CB. But things can change. We have no real depth at CB at this point, so it looks like if we DON'T re-sign Harris next year, we could be in a tough place (Carroll,Hawkins, Blackmon, and Woodson--who is a big questionmark himself). I see a lot of people thinking this will work itself out, but I think(personally) that Al Harris could EASILY not be a Packer in 2007. What do you think? EDIT------EDIT-------EDIT--------EDIT-------EDIT Packersnews.com: Harris’ base salary for this season is $1.5 million and the base salaries for the remainder of the contract are $2.2 million in 2007, $2.85 million in 2008 and $3 million in 2009. What Harris could be unhappy about is over the remainder of the contract, the only bonus money he could receive is a $500,000 roster bonus in 2007. ------------------------ So yeah....he isn't getting as much money in the remainer...but more than 2 million a year isn't anything to scoff at, not as an aging cornerback. I hope this all works out. :cry: [/QUOTE]
