DMD Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 So much for all those Gado owners thinking they scored a major coup in free agency last season. The plan as I understand it, is to continue to use Green with Gado as relief though who knows what training camp will bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I put a hyphen in the title, as it had the opposite meaning without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Not bad; low risk for GB. Is it up to $3 mil with incentives, or just a $3 mil base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given the injury he's coming off of, I'll believe he's 100% back when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 this is a great deal for the Packers who have plenty of cap room and signed him cheaply.... now they can add other "need" areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Good call by TT. Let Davenport and Fisher walk, put Green and Gado together. Maybe this will help Favre make his decision. Now we just need some LBs, OGs, DBs, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider.Nation Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Why sign him to a 1 year deal? I know it's cheaper and it doesn't tie them down financially to a guy who could be done soon, but why not try and get him for at least 2 (like the Giants did with Tiki this season). Very interesting though... Do they take White or Williams now... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's cheaper and it doesn't tie them down financially to a guy who could be done soon, but why not try and get him for at least 2 (like the Giants did with Tiki this season). Very interesting though... Do they take White or Williams now... hmmm 1353275[/snapback] Williams I think and he keeps saying he'd love to play there as Reggie was his idol. Hawk if he's gone.

PaulOttCarruth Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 The reports I've seen have Green two months ahead of schedule in his rehab. I think that's a big reason for the decision to give him a new contract. I'm not as concerned about the Packers backfield as others. Wouldn't take a RB anytime before the fourth round.

Guggs Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Like mentioned, the Packers are well under the cap, might as well sign him because he knows the system. I will probably avoid drafting him though in my fantasy football drafts. Am worried he is not and will not ever be 100% again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I didn't realize that $3m / yr was cheap. To me, it looks like they unnecessarily overpaid him. Coulda spent the overage on a variety of other needs, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulda spent the overage on a variety of other needs, imo. 1353835[/snapback] Green's base is actually $2mil for the year, with the incentives worth up to $3mil.Though Green was insistent on a multi-year deal, he accepted a one-year contract that will pay him a base salary of around $2 million and features $3 million more in incentives. www.jsonline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar39 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Wasted money in my opinion on Green. Green, when healthy last year couldn't do what Gado was doing. Green Bay needs to draft the best person on the board when their pick comes up and just start acquiring talent rather than trying to figure out what holes they need to plug. This is a team with weaknesses everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green, when healthy last year couldn't do what Gado was doing. 1353970[/snapback] True, but it's a cheap, one-year deal that just looks like an insurance policy to me. Out of all their options (Davenport, Gado, and a rookie), Green looks like the safest one. If anything, it tells me that they made their decision with the #5 pick. Green Bay needs to draft the best person on the board when their pick comes up and just start acquiring talent rather than trying to figure out what holes they need to plug. This is a team with weaknesses everywhere. 1353970[/snapback] That statement is clueless. Of all the teams in the top 10, Green Bay probably has the fewest weaknesses.

If you have no tape on someone, how are you supposed to prepare for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4-12 record must indicate a team with no weaknesses then especially in a mediocre division. Wow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
