Comments for PACKER UPDATE http://packerupdate.net Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:01:05 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on Woodson agrees to extension by DaveK http://packerupdate.net/?p=6725&cpage=1#comment-1232 DaveK Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:01:05 +0000 http://packerupdate.net/?p=6725#comment-1232 Per Brandt - his original deal had him getting $21m over the next three years. Now, he will get $33m over those same three years. The extra two years are not guaranteed. In essence, the Packers gave him a $4 million per year increase in pay for the next three years. Elite player now making sightly under market ($11m per year) for an elite CB in this league. Win/win for everyone. TT handles contracts for elite vets better then any GM in the league. Jennings, Rodgers, Driver, Woodson, and Barnett. All get pay increase early but still paid slightly less then market value. Good for Packers and keeps vets happy and sets good example for the rest of the locker room. Per Brandt – his original deal had him getting $21m over the next three years.

If it commits the Packers to an outrageously high cap number in Woodson's declining years, it would be so smart. But yes, I agree, Woodson deserves to be paid among the best at his position.

That post was up for four months - from the beginning of September until early January - before it and dozens of other posts were accidentally deleted when we moved to a new server. You recall wrong.

I thought he was foolish to go into last season without a proven backup tackle and with Aaron Rouse as the No. 3 safety. I feel the same way this year about the lack of depth at outside linebacker and cornerback. I hope I'm wrong. I'm a fan and all the people who read this site are fans, so nothing would make me happier than to see the Packers win the Super Bowl.

Some only started a few games and others started the season as returners and didn't become starters until later in the year. Only a few are really comparable. Anyway, it's safe to say the majority of coaches prefer to use backups to return kicks and punts. I strongly feel that's the way to go, but that's simply my opinion.

Nice to see they're at least looking at some guys, though. That’s a good point. Nice to see they’re at least looking at some guys, though.
