I hate it when players hold out. They sign their contracts then refuse to honor them. Teams can't refuse to honor their contracts with players, but players can refuse to honor their contracts with the teams. [Reply]
Who could have foreseen more issues with this whole mishap of a situation? Brought him in to learn under Rodgers, guess what he picked up.. Some Diva bullshit.
How do you pay him? He's going to want top end money and he was 32td 11 int guy with 4100ish yards. He's not the bottom of the market but he's not elite either. The Pack should have rode Rodgers to the glue factory then taken their lumps to pick a QB high so they could actually use that rookie window. [Reply]

I used to work for a Company that had season tickets for the Packers. When I lived in Chicago, I would take Clients to Packers games ~2x a year. Say what you want about Green Bay (not a big fan myself), but that Stadium is cool as hell. You can feel the history when you go there. If you like the NFL game day experience, you should really try and make it to a game at Lambeau. [Reply]
Meh, I don't blame either Jordan love or the packers. He feels like a flash in the pan to me but he was exceptional second half od the season.
Think we are misreading this one. Love is on the last year of his contract and both he and the packers, I'm sure, don't want this to drag out too long. Because of the packers hold out too long, Love can just leave them after this season.
Ultimately Im guessing love holds out long enough to make his case and the packers give it a few games to see if he can continue his success. Nothing here feels too out of the ordinary [Reply]

No what they need to do is build a dome in Michigan. [Reply]

Because it isn't baseball where you're stuck with a bad contract. In the NFL the team can cut out halfway into the contract. So if teams don't honor contracts, players don't need to. In this case we are talking about the last year of his contract and it's standard for a player who is underpaid to lobby for an extension. And it is in the best interest of the packers to get something done earlier because waiting too long puts them at greater risk of losing them. I don't think either party is handling this inappropriately. [Reply]

He showed enough last year that they'll have to pay him top dollar. And they will. Most other teams wish they had this problem. [Reply]
