As my oldest is just a few months away from heading off to college, I'd like 5% more of my annual salary.

Expect Tramon Williams to be signed pretty soon. I think Packers have a decent chance of keeping him. We'll see.

That sounds more like opinion than inside knowledge. But I hope they are right.
Shocker.
@WesHod: The #Packers did not tender restricted free-agent receiver Jarrett Boykin according to #NFL release.
Yeah no surprise on Boykin. He was such a disappointment last year, I really thought he was going to be a legit #3 guy. Man was I wrong. I really wonder if there was something going behind the scenes with him.....
Yeah, Adams is what happened behind the scenes.

Huh???
"otherwise likely no savings"... except 7.65% on over half of your income.
I'd call that significant savings.
8 homes games plus games at the Texans and at the Titans every year, both in states with no income tax. So 10 guaranteed tax free games per year vs Packers players who have to play in WI, MN, IL and MI every year.
$6.25M x .625 (for 10 of 16 games) x 7.65% (WI tax)= $298,828.12 per year.
"otherwise likely no savings" except for almost $300k more dollars per year. 
If a player put that extra $200k-300k into a retirement account every year, think of how much better off he'd be in 30 years than the player who paid that same money in to taxes.
Tax nerds.
Oh hell, one can dream..
Think if the #Packers had Raji, Wilfork, & Daniels as the starters in the 3-4 & Nickel, & also had Guion/Pennell and Boyd for depth? Wow.

But that just puts Raji back at DE, and we know how well he fits there....

$300k is the Grey Poupon budget.
Damnit....still struggling to get over that 64k hump
I was going to ask him for a job, but I've seen his damn posts. He'd actually expect me to work.
Pot Roast.
@TyDunne: Source said #Packers had "a few discussions" with Terrance Knighton; nothing major. Shown interest in Guion/Raji. They'll probably wait here.

Like I said earlier, he left to become a starter. The tax thing is just a bonus, but it is not insignificant.
BTW, EC Pack it is 5% not .05%
You are right, but my point remains the same.

Actually, I'd like 5% or ARod's salary, not mine...

REALLY? Now I understand why lottery winners go broke 95% of the time.
Yes. Really. I would definitely be able to make it on just $6 million and never be broke for the rest of my life. If someone would give me the 298K right now, I would retire.
Yah, keep giving away 300 grand and that 6.25 mil won't last 3 years.
Boykin's slump is disappointing but not shocking. I think he caught defenders off guard last year because no one knew who he was and there was no tape on him. This year they could gameplan him and he didn't adjust well to their counter moves.
Packers free-agent CB Tramon Williams will visit the New Orleans Saints tonight, per source.

Is that the real Adam Schefter or the imposter?
Why would you trade Graham and save $2 million, then pay Tramon more than the the $4 mil a year he reportedly turned down?
Drew Brees would like an explanation. And a TE. And a WR. And the last two years of his life back. And a chance to go back and reconsider that last contract extension....

#Saints have CB Tramon Williams in for a FA visit tonight. They rarely miss on these kinds of early UFA targets.

Pack CB depth could be hurting if Tramon ends up in NO
Yup. That's the real Scheftie. The blue check mark tells you so. They're hard to get unless twitter authorizes it by verifying your identity.

If you only need another $298k to be able to retire:
a - you are 55 or older and already have close to $1mm in assets
b - you could retire now and don't really need the additional $298k regardless of how old you are
c - internet hubris
Further.
Financial planners say one can take out 4% per year in order to have your nest -egg last.
4% x $290,000 = $11,920/yr.
I guess you'd qualify for food stamps, you got that going for ya.
Tramon's going to visit the saints? Maybe the revis stuff has some legs. Ted will even the negotiating field quick.

Well, the imposter has been slightly more accurate.

D. That space under the bridge suddenly opened up again.
Isn't Tramon from Louisiana? Maybe he just wants to play near home to end his career,
1 hour agoThank you GB for everything! Out of 32 NFL teams you guys were the only ones that gave me a chance to start my career And for that I will forever be grateful. Going to miss these guys! Built a great relationship! I'm excited to say for the next four years I will be a jaguar and anxious to see what GOD has in store for me.
...a nice house-warming party thrown by....this guy!

Both he and his wife.
If you're playing for the Jaguars, then God has a lot of losing in store for you.quote:I'm excited to say for the next four years I will be a jaguar and anxious to see what GOD has in store for me.

Yeah, Revis should come to us to get another ring!
Hey, did Sean Richardson get tendered an offer? Somehow I haven't seen his name mentioned. Not surprised that Jarrett Boykin did not.
Richardson, Barclay, and Banjo were RFA tendered.
DuJuan Harris and Boykin were not and are now FAs.
Was House hoping that multiple teams would draft him?
Actually, I think Banjo was an exclusive rights free agent.

He's blaming God?
