Re: Contracts
Gentlemen,
From this moment forward this is the policy regarding contracts between you and the Green Bay Packers.
1)If you don't want to play here, we will work diligently to find you a new job with a new team. We won't, however, do so to the detriment of our salary cap.
2)If you holdout hoping for a new contract, you will not be accomodated until the end of the current contract. That means when you report, you will be at the end of the depth chart, and likely to be on the inactives on game day, no one excepted. You will be fined to the maximum allowed by NFL rules and we will ask for the maximum back on money your received up from your signing bonus.
3)We still will continue our policy of releasing players from contracts early.
While some may argue this is hypocritical, it also can be argued that it gives the player a chance to shop his abilities to other teams via free agency.
4)Anyone who displays an attitude(as determined by the coaches and me) that is not 100% toward the Green Bay Packers winning the championship will be suspended...indefinately...from the team...unpaid.
If you are unclear as to what I mean about any of these four points, I will be happy to talk to you face-to-face in the locker room with the rest of the team present.
Sincerely,
Ted Thompson
