Packers RB Ryan Grant is seeking a six year, $40 million contract.
The Packers obviously feel those terms are unreasonable for a running back with seven career starts and very little leverage in contract talks. Although both sides agree that the key to any deal is how Grant performs in 2008 and 2009, they differ on compensation. With Brandon Jackson ready to step in, Grant is likely going to have to settle soon.

I would agree with that, and I think it's unreasonable for him to expect the team to renegotiate after just one good season.

I'd like to see more playing time before a big contract

Clearly a huge gamble if the Packers did that. He should ATLEAST play one more season before getting signed for a contract that big. Sure he did pretty good in 2007 but he is a running back who has not even played more than 8 games.

I heard late last night that he and the Packers agreed to terms. True?

About time.

I would have given him the contract, but at his same base salary loaded with incentives to reach the pay he wants. if he repeats his season last year, he makes a fortune. If not, he stays the same. i wonder why all contracts aren't made this way.

Wait a second, he just got a 4 year deal according to Yahoo Fantasy Sports (I have him). He's gonna hold out again after just getting a contract? Not even the lowest of the low, Bonds, Clemens, Favre, etc. would do that! I must have misread this...I hope. Nothing surprises me these days with players holding their teams hostage.

No, I think the holdout talk ended when he agreed to terms. Hope so, anyway.

Yea he should at least start another season before the Packers put that much faith in him.

Ya completely however he does look promising.
