pretty reasonable. He must be confident that he'll kick ass this year and earn a big contract next year. sounds good to me!

I'm not surprised that it's one year, in fact it makes perfect sense. Let's see how Tramon performs in the 3 - 4 before we break the bank on him. I think he's more suited for the 3 - 4 zone predicated defense than the bump press coverage than Al Harris.

I hope jennings is next, then collins.

Jennings 6 yr / 42 mill .. well deserved

Collins 3 yr / 19 mill .. well deserved THIS season

Agreed on Jennings, but I'd like to wait and see if Collins can produce two years in a row before giving him the money. At least wait until the middle of the season like with Rodgers.

Cheap for Williams. I wonder since GB probably is assuming next year is uncapped they gave him a one year deal thinking he'd be a RFA instead of an UFA. I'm not 100% positive on the rules, but I know you need six years of service in the NFL to become a UFA in an uncapped season. Might by why GB isn't negotiating hardcore with the likes of Jennings and Collins.

$1.275 million total is pretty good for Williams. A deserved raise, but doesn't put the Packers in cap hell either. Plus we still control his rights next season when he becomes a RFA. I thought he would want to push for something a bit more along the lines of what Jarrett Bush got, but I'm just glad we got him signed since he was pretty much the only outstanding holdout that wasn't still under contract.

Heard a interesting detail to the parameters of the deal signed yesterday on the Wisconsin Radio report this morning coming into work..

Per the contract, the Packers gave up their rights to Williams after this season as part of the deal, basically making him UFA after the season... so either it was an error on their part or the Papers have not read the fine print of the contract...

I read through the CBA this morning quick, it appears that the Packers can legally do that, release Williams from his restricted rights, if they choose to.. basically an outright release..

If this proved to be the case, this makes a ton of sense for both sides, if he plays up to his potential, Williams has the leverage. If he doesn't, the Packers are protected in a one year deal.. puts the pressure on the Packers to lock him up this season if he is excelling.. thus giving Ted the ability to tie up the money in this years cap... smart fair way to handle it.

This is exactly what I assume as well. It really isn't the emergency to get these guys re-signed that certain members of this board indicate it is.

The downside to an arrangement like this, of course, is that, absent a midseason signing, it virtually guarantees that Williams will not return next year, since the likelihood is that another team would swoop in with a much sweeter deal in an uncapped year.

Of course, I may well be overestimating Williams' market value (as might Williams himself), and it's possible that few other teams would express much interest in him.

It's all a chess game, and I'm curious to see how it plays out.

It virtually guarantee's he won't be back with the Packers next year? How in the sam hell do you come up with this stuff? If he does well in the 3 - 4 and the Packers want him and he wants to be a Packer, he will be. You don't think Tramon remembers getting released by the Texans as a undrafted rookie and the Packers took a small chance on him?

Tramon is in a short line to becoming a starter for a up and coming team with a defense that has some awesome potential and the offense is flat out devastating. Keep this in mind, Woodson and Harris can not play forever.

By no means once so ever does this contract mean Tramon will not be back. His play and the development of the other secondary and special teamers play far more a role in that than some one year deal.

I said that "absent a midseason signing" it would guarantee that he wouldn't be back, the assumption being, of course, that another team would offer him significantly more. According to the articles posted above, this contract gives Williams what amounts to an outright release after this season, which would allow him to test the free-agent market. If Ted Thompson gives him a few games to show his worth in the new scheme and then offers him a long-term deal, we would see Williams back next year.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (3h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (13h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (13h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (13h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (17h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (17h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (20h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (20h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (20h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (20h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (20h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (20h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (20h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (20h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (21h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (21h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (21h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (22h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (22h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (22h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (22h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (22h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
