oldno82 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Whoa! I didn't know about the back injury. I kind of loss track of him last year but I knew he had become a badass pass rusher for the Packers. But back injuries are tricky things and might mean he can't play. I'm hoping now they're doing a series of thorough physical examinations of him. However, he is just 29. If he's healthy it could still be a good signing. Time will tell. Also do we know the details of the contract? All I've heard is $35 mill for 5(?) years. Maybe it's loaded with incentives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 35 over 4 yrs. Incentives can take it to 50. Spotrak has nothing on the details yet. I am just hoping there is an out early if his back is jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Jesus, I didn't know he had back surgery in October. This could back fire on us. Time will tell. I can't imagine him being cut open in Oct and he playing in the Packers playoff game, but he did.. I wish I would of had his surgeon.

tsylvester Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Glad to see Averate gone, over rated, never should have been drafted. Thomilson is not a big loss, spotty hands, subpar blocker. Houston has been a bust, another bad signing let him walk. Watkins just doesn't have anything left in the tank. Shame, good teammate, great hands..

What good is a player who missed the whole season last year and has an unknown back future ahead. Guess we'll see if we dodged a bullet.

tsylvester Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Must be the culture we are in now, seems more players are backing out of previously agreed deals for one reason or another. Maybe it is just the internet, and this has happened a lot in the past and we just couldn't hear about... dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 So we agree with one time Raven Michael Pierce. 3 yr 16.5 mil. He's only played in 8 games since 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only played in 8 games since 2020. He took 2020 off for Covid, so technically only played one year of his contract. We'll see. Not overly excited about this one. I read he did grade well when he DID play in MN. 12 hours ago, tsylvester said: Must be the culture we are in now, seems more players are backing out of previously agreed deals for one reason or another.

It's gross, but we also live in a culture where there's a verbal agreement and social media races to report it. The ol' adage of a man's word not meaning anything anymore...

papasmurfbell Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Agreed. I know they needed help on the line but a single yr is silly. Is this supposed to be some kind of prove it yr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
