Update on Tauscher's New Contract, Havner's Arrest

PrintAccording to the Press-Gazette, RT Mark Tauscher's new contract is for a maximum of 2 years, $8.7 million. Baring a complete collapse in training camp, which is highly unlikely, in 2010 he'll cost around $3.9 million as the starter. And if he loses his starting job, he'll be paid just over $3 million in 2010 with no future dead money when the salary cap returns. Overall a good, low cost move for a potentially valuable starter.
On Monday night, it wasn't clear whether TE Spencer Havner was arrested for an alleged DUI, but now it's known he was arrested and charges may be filed. LB Nick Barnett sent a "get well" tweet.
As far as Twitter goes: CB Will Blackmon and LB Clay Matthews both sent tweets (here and here) from LB Aaron Kampman's farewell party. On an unrelated contract note, it would appear that Blackmon is in Green Bay for the start of the offseason weight lifting and conditioning program although restricted free agents usually don't attend in case of injury.

Is quite a bit cheaper than people on here thought we’d get him for.
Very nice contract, hopefully the haters can relax.

Thanks, I’ve been wondering about the terms of Tauscher’s deal.
It’s just a bit high, in my opinion. 2/6mil is what I was thinking, with the bulk of the money being guaranteed up front to sweeten the deal. But… hey, he’s a reliable, veteran tackle.
And, anyway, what’s a couple million among friends?
Do any of you guys think Barbre could play Right Guard?
I am so happy Tauscher is back I can hardly stand it! I can’t wait for the draft to see who we get! I’m even more optimistic about the line than I have been since the Cards game! : (
Cliff ~ Lang ~ Spitz ~ Sitton ~ Tauscher
That doesn’t look near as bad as it would’ve even a week ago!!
Can ya tell I’m getting excited about the Draft and our chances!? With Colledge, Wells, Smith, Barbre & Breno as depth I’m still convinced we need help in the draft, but not near as desperate as we were! Still wonder if Barbre isn’t a guard?
Go Pack
I'm pretty sure
Barbre is supposed to be a guard.
Colledge, on the other hand, is supposed to be collecting unemployment.

Whats up… I think we’ll draft a couple OL in the draft. Thompson has drafted 2 almost every year, so its likely that continues till the OL is set for the future. Draft a LT early (1st or 2nd) and another 4th or 5th. Still hope we land Hughes tho!!! LOL
I would be more than happy to see Smith left for dead… He does NOTHING for me.
what did you think about Meredith!? I had high hopes for him ,but he was a couple years away, and it seems to me the kept Giacomini protected rather than Meredith…

Yeah ~ I really wondered about that? Don't know everything that goes on in the Locker Room though.
Maybe he got under someone’s skin? Your guess is as good as mine. I’m so pumped for the draft and if there was a way we didn’t have to sell the farm to get Bulaga & Hughes I’d jump on it! I would love to see Ted pull off a draft day trade of Colledge, Bush, Smith, & Havner at least! : )
Maybe a couple other guys that haven’t done anything in our 3 – 4 defense that might work in a 4 – 3, I don’t know who they would be, but, that’s Ted’s job! : )
Go Pack!
Havner
they should cut Havner loose right now. he’s a marginal player and now we are finding out he’s a dumbass and bad news. Get rid of rotten apples like him before you end up with another Charles Martin.
