And they can cut him after 2018, and save $4.5M. It's essentially a two year deal with a pair of options. I'd venture a guess to say he doesn't see that $10.5M cap hit in 2020.

That might be the way things go in the future for contracts. Need to have an out if needed, or an option to extend and reduce the cap number at the tail end of the contract. THings will potentially reset themselves when GB eventually has a starting QB making rookie salary. Hope that is a long ways off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 If the contracts were the same, would Packers be better off with Tretter or Linsley at Center going forward ? They each have their pro's and cons - but who would you take if given the choice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I've always felt Tretter was the better center of the two and was disappointed to see we did not offer him the contract that he got from the Browns. It was an absolute bargain. Lock up that bargain contract and trade Linsley. He was always going to get the larger deal. Unfortunately it didnt shake out that way.

OneTwoSixFive Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I always felt that Linsley was a bit stronger, while Tretter was more versatile. I thought they'd go with Tretter (could have used him this last year) but they are both starter quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugger Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Tretter might be the better player but he had problems staying healthy with us. I don't know if he played in all 16 games with Cleveland this year but Corey was one of the few starters we had that didn't miss a game all year.

Then Tretter got hurt late and we went back to Corey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linsley had a few things too, so was just setting the record that he's missed a few games in his career as well. Tretter was decidedly more injury prone though, having missed his entire rookie season and half of two other seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect GB would have went with Tretter over Linsley had Tretter been able to stay on the field during his time in GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think GB made the right choice...unless the choice could have been keeping both and putting Tretter at RG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
