JS Online: Notes: Money won't be an object

excerpt:

Bargaining table: Green said in a television interview over the weekend that he wanted to return to the Packers but wouldn't settle for a one-year deal and would test the market if it's necessary to find out what his market value really is.

The Packers and Green have been negotiating for several weeks, but haven't been able to match numbers. Green said he would be a better running back than he was last year because he is more than a year past surgery on a torn right thigh tendon.

"Doc (Patrick) McKenzie basically said the second year would be a better year," Green said in an interview on Time Warner Sports Roundtable with Dennis Krause. "That's what I feel like now. I'm rarin' to go right now."

Green is thought to be seeking a deal worth more than $5 million a year and the Packers appear to be offering much less.

I would love to see the EAGLES get him, but they will only use him sparingly and not give him the money he wants, I doubt they would give him more than a one year deal. Actually, I don't see any team that would give him more than a one year deal with his recent history.

I don't see any team giving him more than a one year deal either but you never know.

there's no way he is going to get 5 million a year from any team. He's over thirty and has knee issues.

That was a good call there MickeyG. It is almost as good as some of mine. "the Cowboys should sign Ed Hartwell will be a better player and CHEAPER." Well maybe one out of two is not bad or how about this year "Dockery is a way they can upgrade at OG since he will be CHEAP." I think it is funny that he was wanting 5 million a year and got almost SIX. Way to go there Texans who did your contract talks Peter Griffen.
