Grant 'livid' over Packers offer
Not only is Ryan Grant not reporting to camp for today's first practice, the Green Bay Packers' unsigned starting running back is "livid" over the club's initial contract offer, his agent said. "It's a joke. It's an absolute joke," agent Alan Herman said Sunday night, roughly 24 hours after receiving what he said was an offer from Packers negotiator Russ Ball of a six-year deal that included just $1.75 million in guaranteed money. "It's insulting. I don't believe it. "Ryan's feelings about the Green Bay Packers at this point are not very good. He is livid. He is very angry."

He must be Brat Favre's cousin or something!

As a guy off of the Giants practice squad I root for the guy, but come on Grant you had half a season of good performance. That does not equal a big contract.
And Green Bay....6 year commitment? Do a 3 year and let the guy prove he is worth the money.

I wish I could say I feel sorry for him...but I don't. He needs to prove it for a whole year before he starts holding out of camp.

Put in a "FULL" year of playing like the real deal and then, maybe, you can start this crap. So far you've proven that you're capable of handling the load for half a season. Big deal..... I've seen lots of players play good for a few games and never heard from again.....

Yeah, he did great for half a season facing nickel defenses and a HOF QB handing him the ball.

Livid? Does that mean he's happy? Bring Bart back and let him play running back.

As a Packer fan, I can guarantee you that he would be in camp and not complaining about money if Favre were there... he's just smart enough to see that the Packers are gonna tank and go down in flames under Rodgers and he just wants to get paid if he's walking into that situation. He knows that Rodgers is gonna struggle, the offense is gonna rely on him, and he's gonna get knocked around more than last year when opposing defenses had to focus on Favre (who was having one of the best years of his career as a passer).

Give him a 1-year incentive-filled $2 million base contract this year. If he's more than a one-hit-wonder, give him a 4-year $16 million deal at season's end.
