Per usual, it's not about the contract amount/per year. It's always about what the TRUE guaranteed amount is.

 

(assuming it's true) If they were willing to give Jennings 9 mil a year....

 

 

 

 

I wonder what happened to:

 

"What I got in that last deal, I'll never spend it all anyway," Nelson said last week. "So I'm not worried about it."

Is it just me or has Demovsky been wrong more than right since moving to ESPN? Maybe I'm way off, but it just seems that way. 

I thought that was a prerequisite to work there...?!

I want him back!!! He's been great both on and off the field. He's worth it!  Enough said!

I trust TT and Russ Ball will work out the best deal possible. TT and MM aren't going to let a gem like 87 go.  

 

Jordy is worth dropping big coin. So underrated by most outside of Packer land. Everything you want in a player both on and off the field.

Demovsky is stirring schit for the World Leader in schit-stirring and yes, he's also full of schit lately. Its part of his job description, truth is secondary to clicks and views

 

When Jordy speaks, then you'll have an idea of what Jordy thinks.

 

 

Pay him!!

A source familiar with the negotiations said Nelson wants a deal worth at least $10 million per season.

Agent.

 

 

 

 

Bad Bob is probably the Grand Wizard/Poobah of the   to get clicks, so indeed who knows whether Rob D has this right or not. It's possible he's throwing this out there as a pure guess but I do see ESPN is running with this story on NFL Insiders just now.

 

If Jordy agreed to a 4 year deal, he would be 33 at his next go round at a contract. Unless he's ungodly productive/healthy or he's willing to do a bargain contract it's possible in today's NFL this is last one. Or at least his last BIG contract. So I can't blame him for getting as much as he can.

 .

 

Demovsky is pretty well-connected and I have no reason to doubt his reporting. Much of that is just posturing and the organization will take the same approach they did with Jennings. I don't see Jordy making the same mistake Greg did in overvaluing his worth and leaving all sorts of money on the table.

So Jordy's agent just set the high mark for the negotiations on a per-year basis.  Great.  Never seen this before.  

 

He'll wind up getting about $8-9M/year, and that seems about right.  

Know when to hold, and know when to fold.

 

No wonder Jordy can only afford measly soft serve in Wausau.  He didn't even bother to go down the road to Belts.

waiting for SDPF to tell me if JJSD is being sarcastic....

I'm sure Demovsky is well connected with Jordy's agent. What this means is that the negotiations have commenced in earnest and Jordy's agent is playing games. The Packers may or may not play the game themselves by way of some reporter "talking to his source". The media doesn't break big stories anymore, the media is a tool used as a means to an end. Nothing more. Nothing gets out anymore that isn't strategically planned, especially to ESPN. A source familiar with the negotiations...that means it's either Jordy, his wife, his agent, Ted, or Russ Ball. I doubt it's Jordy or his wife and Ted hates the media anyway so its either Russ or the agent...either way it's just a game.

It hurts my feelings that you don't even have to ask anymore if I'm being rude.

Ted will have a number and contract structure in mind and a contingency plan in place in case things go south. If the number is more than Ted wants to pay, Jordy will go elsewhere. No sense in gnashing teeth over this. We all know how this is going to play out.

I'd bet Boykin and Adams get plenty of reps this season.

 

If they look good(or if AR makes them look good), along with Cobb on the roster, TT has the upper hand.

Contingency plan in part was drafting Adams, Abby and Janis. Tough to keep both Jordy and Cobb so keep the draft and develop pipeline full.
