Good point. Maybe it's mostly related to the fact that Johnson is much more likely to be a starter this season than Lang.

Packers Sign Rookie Offensive Lineman To Four-Year Deal
Posted by Aaron Wilson on July 7, 2009 5:45 PM
Fourth-round offensive lineman T.J. Lang has signed his rookie contract, the Green Bay Packers announced today.

No terms were disclosed.

UPDATE: According to a league source, Lang signed a four-year contract that included a $502,500 signing bonus.

It includes base salaries of $310,000 in 2009, $395,000 in 2010, $480,000 in 2011 and $565,000 in 2012.

The deal also contains a fourth-year escalator clause that can raise his compensation in 2012 to $1.308 million depending on his playing time.

The versatile former Eastern Michigan plays guard and tackle.

Not missing a start in his final three college seasons, Lang started 26 games at left tackle and 10 more at right tackle.

Now, the Packers have signed five draft picks out of their eight-player rookie class.

Per Lori Nickel of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Lang has drawn praise from Packers coach Mike McCarthy.

"I think Lang has really made some big steps since he's been here," McCarthy told reporters last month. "He seems very natural at playing either tackle or guard and that's something we've had a number of players be able to come in here and do that at the offensive line position. That's the way you're able to go from the 53 to the 45 and be able to play on Sundays.

"That's something he's shown right away. Athletically, there's days I thought he was a tackle, there's days I think he's a guard. So, that tells you about where his flexibility is physically. Very happy with him."

Quinn Johnson. Odd that our 4th round pick signed before our 5th round pick.

Especially since he's a fullback. Knowing Ted Thompson, he wants to make it a contract with a lot of incentives in it. Maybe they're still trying to figure that out? I mean, what do you want to base those on? Time on the field? Pancakes?

I needed to study this kid last night.. I am undoubtedly impressed with this kid.

Technique wise.. very solid player.. uses his arms well, sets up in a firm base and moves his feet well. Excellent balance.. like I said I am impressed with him.

Jump in competition and may need to get a little stronger.. but I love this pick now.. after about 10 minutes of "who" with the list of players left in te draft.

I might go as far to say, in a couple of years of experience under him.. I think we have a multiple time Pro Bowl type player in Lang.

Did I say I was impressed. :)

BTW.. my wife is glad draft weekend is over.. I have an expanded Honey Do List after I became "lost" in the weekend.. lol. She said, last night was the worst.. because I kept watching clips and murmuring to myself.. I even dreamed about this crap last night.

I need a new hobby.. lol.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
