[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 549464, member: 7277"] I would agree, and he shouldn't have to. In my opinion though, that's not really what happened the first time. Nelson was still an unproven commodity who was averaging 33 catches a season for his career and never had more than 2 TD's in a season when he signed his deal. He was paid on potential, and ended up outperforming his contract -- similar to Rodger's 6 year contract in 2008. To his credit though, he never even hinted at a holdout, which wouldn't be all that uncommon for a player in his position these last few years. I think both Rodgers and Nelson appreciated the fact that the organization took a chance on them with multi-year deals despite being relatively unproven at the times of their deals. [/QUOTE]
