Green Bay --- Standing at his locker Tuesday, Sam Shields was honest, direct. The Green Bay Packers cornerback didn't get what he wants. After his third NFL season, Shields was hoping for a long-term contract extension.

Asked if he didn't sign because he wanted a long term deal ...

Oh yeah, that’s one of my goals. It didn’t work out. I signed the tender. I came back to minicamp. If I have a great year this year, it’ll speak for itself right there ...I was really calm with it. I wasn’t like, ‘Nah, I’m not coming because they’re not paying me.’ It wasn’t that. It’s business. I got here for the minicamp signed and I’m ready to rock and roll.

It felt good. It felt good signing. I wanted to be back. I was tired of being home. I was home too long. I was just ready to sign the tender. I didn’t get what I wanted. I was like, it’s not going to go that much farther so I might as well sign the tender and get back.

Sam Shields was a guy I was rooting for like crazy when he appeared, bright-eyed, at Green Bay Packers camp in 2010. An undrafted free agent, he defied the odds to not only earn a spot on the final roster of 53, but also see substantial playing time. So when he intercepted Caleb Hanie [...]

Be nice to see him maintain his high level of play.

Dude's still getting better, he's only played the position for 4 years.

To answer the question, maybe. It depends how big at this point. I'd much rather see Shields extended for multiple years than Raji. If they play the wait and see game, one of three things will happen: a) the player will flop, and either we get him cheap or not, nobody much cares; b) the player does great, somebody else offers him a mega-contract, and we lose him; or c) the player does great, Ted Thompson re-signs him, but has to pay through the nose to do it. My best guess would be c for Shields - unlike Raji, who I would thin it's 50/50 between a and b. In short, signing Shields now long term for a lot but less than he might cost later would be a good move. I would NOT say the same for Raji.

You can never have too many good or great Corners. If Tramon snaps back and/or Hayward progresses as expected and/or House develops the way we hope, it still doesn't take away from the benefit of retaining Shields long term.

I would not like to see Raji gone unless we're going to scrap the 3-4. At Picketts age you can not expect him to play nose tackle alone even if you don't like Raji and I don't know that we have anyone better. I'm hoping we come up with some good DEs this year. Pickett and Raji have not had much support, if they could rotate and stay fresher I believe we'd see very good play at nose tackle. That said I want us to sign all of them!!!

What a novel idea. A professional player puts out his maximum effort and hopes that will get him a better contract.
Who would have thunk it?

They will get a deal done before the season is over.

I’m not that guy like, ‘I’m not coming ‘cause I didn’t get paid.’ I need to get paid, but business is business. I wanted to get paid. It didn’t happen. I came and signed the tender and I’m here now.
