Bigby, Jolly, and Williams Remain Unsigned

I guess its about perspective. I mean I agree with you…I’d be thrilled to be making the vet minimum right now! haha BUT they know what they CAN be making so they don’t want to settle for less. It would be like finding out a guy who does exactly what you do at your company and you find out he makes 10K more than you…you’d want that 10K too, right?

Tramon knows we need him and he wants a long term contract. Problem is, we don’t want to overpay him. Therefore, this is dragging. The other players….idk. Jolly is a fool. Bigby knows we lack depth, but he is jeopardizing his starting role.

you offer me a few million a year or hell a couple hundred thousand a year i would do what you want with a big smile on my face

Yeah, but there’s a reason nobody’s offering anything to us. These players have a marketable skill. Think of it from their perspective: Somebody’s going to get that money. Why shouldn’t it be them? So, I think of it in terms of “what are they worth considering what they contribute and how many other teams would want them.”

Jolly already signed. Williams deserves about 1.5-2.5 million, I’d say. But he’s got leverage because the Packers don’t have much of a plan-B if they don’t sign him.

Bigby deserves a drastic pay cut. His play has really fallen off. He’s a liability in coverage and nothing special against the run. …very situational player at this point.

More like: give him a one-year deal if his demands are unrealistic. Then develop other guys before next year so we can let him walk. But, as things stand right now, our defense sucks if he’s not on it. Period.

Jolly will be earning $2.5 Million this year. If he is cut, no financial penalties will be accessed to the Packers.

He finally wised up! Geez…he should be glad the team didn’t pull the tender out from under him!

Cartons in Wisconsin or Colorado? Cartons in WI cost about what, $70 today? Cartons in CO cost $37. You do the math.

I have thought about that as well… CB is a hard position to draft for and alot of 1st rd picks don’t become Shut down CB… With Harris on the books for just this year, that would free up around 7M after this season! That 7M plus a couple extra Millions (say a 11 or 12M per salary) might be enough to lure him to GB! He and Woodson are pretty tight and Woodson would be able to talk him into coming to GB if he had doubts about it… Like you, I don’t want to get my hopes up, but its a possibilty after next year, IMO!!!

It’s worth a try though and it would be awesome to have him team up with Charles Woodson!!!!!!
