This is twisting normal implied phrases... Haha said it was about the lack of a workout bonus and wanting to spend time with family (in that order).

When saying it was about the money, normally that's implied to mean complaining about their contract, which is the opposite case here... Haha was happy that the contract didn't have a workout bonus, so he could spend more time with family.

It didn't seem to be considered important to either side.

1) Because the Packers elected Haha's 5th year option, which is covered under the rookie contract, which means it's covered under the almost unbreakable CBA and can't be easily adjusted without getting the NFLPA and NFL approval... (You know, unless BOTH the player, agent and team all agreed).

2) Because you're suggesting an employee (Haha) would do MORE WORK, for the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY... which makes no sense why Haha, his agent, or the NFLPA would agree to that. If Haha is making $6 million for the year... it doesn't make sense for him to change that to make $5 million for the year AND $1 million for OTA... it's still $6 million.

Haha wanted to stay home with family, he was happy... but you're right, the Packers could of thrown some more money at him (say 250K to 500K to try to get him to come in for OTA), but they didn't seem that worried.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
