-- Sharper About to be Released --
Wed Mar 9, 2005 The Press Gazette reports S Darren Sharper’s career with the Green Bay Packers could end within the next few days. New GM Ted Thompson has asked Sharper, a fixture at safety for the past seven seasons, to take a substantial pay cut. But Sharper has balked at accepting about $2 million, or about one-third of the $6 million he’s scheduled to make in salary and roster bonus. Sharper is due a roster bonus of $2.6 million on Friday, so if the sides don’t work out an agreement before then, the Packers appear set to release him at an immediate salary-cap savings of about $3.4 million. A compromise seems unlikely because Sharper in January ruled out taking a pay cut, and because Thompson and Sharper’s agent, Joel Segal, had a fruitless face-to-face meeting at the NFL scouting combine late last month
All our D needs is a safty right?
