Guest Sores Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Anyone else look at it this way? Despite having the enviable luxury of sitting a good $25 million under the provisional salary cap of $94.5 million, the Packers cut N'ail Diggs who would have counted $3.8 Mil. against the cap in 2006. They then turn around and use $2 Mil to sign Ahman Green (with incentives that could earn him $3 Mil more). So essentially, they get rid of a LB that didn't fit the defensive scheme and sign Green for at the most $1.2 Mil more than they would have paid Diggs - IF he earns all his incentives (in which case they still got a steal, and didn't negatively impact their cap position.

Or does Gado still get some love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sores Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 So does this solidify Green's position next season? Or does Gado still get some love? 1354490[/snapback] From what I have read, they are going into camp with Green as "the Man" and Gado as his #1 backup. Meaning that Najeh will likely be elsewhere or signed to a minimum contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 So does this solidify Green's position next season? 1354490[/snapback] IMHO this definitely solidifies Green's role as a starting LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 how good could green even end up being? 1354582[/snapback] He's been hurt for 2 years. He isn't that old. He could be very good, but we'll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpholmes Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 So now we need an adjective that has the same meaning as "Fragile" But shows some alliteration with "Ahman" Becuase Fragile Ahman dosn't sound nearly as good as the other "Fragile" in the FF world.

Sorry, that's the best I could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Boy I just can't see Ahman being any good. After watching him last year, even behind a bad Oline, he just had nothing to offer. He seemed tentative and slow. What bothers me is that behind the same line, Gado played well. It should be an open competition between Gado and Green.

It's an incentive contract so I would expect open competition of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
