I don't think Chris Borland made a few million or even a half million per his contract . And he returned the signing bonus.

For comparison sake, here is Abbrederris contract details .

Chargers might be a tad worried wondering if there is something in the water up there in Madison.

Think of this more as an It’s a shame than a Thumbs down: Former University of Wisconsin wide receiver Jared Abbrederis, who suffered a concussion during the first practice of training camp back on July 30, once again did not practice. Although McCarthy said recently that Abbrederis had been attending meetings, and he has been spotted in the locker room multiple times, he still hasn’t gotten the go-ahead to resume practicing. With a history of concussion/concussion-like symptoms at UW, the longer Abbrederis is sidelined, the more disconcerting it becomes for a player who earned Rodgers’ respect and faith very quickly last year as a rookie before suffering a season-ending knee injury in camp.

Hope the best for him.

Personally I don't think he should give up just yet, but it's not looking good at this point.

Packers willing to wait for Jared Abbrederis 

The Green Bay Packers haven't given up on Jared Abbrederis, and he hasn't given up on football.

The fifth-round draft pick in 2014 intends to continue his bid to make the roster even though he has been out since the first practice of training camp because of a concussion.

What remains unclear is when Abbrederis will be cleared.

The former University of Wisconsin receiver left practice on July 30 when he fell awkwardly, and although he has been attending meetings -- an indication he has progressed through part of the NFL's concussion protocol -- there are still tests he needs to pass before he can practice again.



I guess he still wants to play.

NFL rules prevent Abbrederis from talking to reporters until he's cleared from his latest concussion but despite a pre-draft report of a lengthy concussion history, Abbrederis and his agent, Rick Smith, have long maintained he had only one previous concussion. It occurred in 2012, and he missed one game. It was the only full game he missed his college career.

Abby's dad isn't worried about his son's concussions, or so he says:

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
