From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Wonder if the Packers were the counter party bidding for his services that forced MN to offer100K to get him as an UDRFA.
Seems weird that wouldn't be MN's responsibility, would have thought that was like a signing bonus, but I guess through a waiver claim, we are taking on all the contract. Just would have thought that was already paid I guess.
Well, the Vikings only gave Sims a $10K signing bonus while guaranteeing $100K of his base salary. If a team claims that player off waivers they're on the hook for the guaranteed portion of the base salary.
So what does that get him? 9 guaranteed weeks on the PS.
That's not how it works. If the Packers end up releasing Sims once again they will have to pay him $100K. They would have to pay him an extra $12K for each week spend on the practice squad on top of it.
