When exactly will folks understand that he was just signed to the Jags for #1 money. I don't care when we were able to negotiate with him. #1 money was not ever gonna be on the table.

I agree the rule was stupid, and maybe we could have worked out a contract extension had we been able to work on a deal. But its just speculation. Nobody knows for sure. Maybe he would have wanted more than we were willing to pay anyway, or maybe his agent would have advised him to wait till after the year and hit the market anyway. We simply dont know for sure.

You can forget Driver.
Donald Driver says he has 1-2 more years in Green Bay
Donald Driver says he has 1-2 more years in Green Bay
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 29, 2012, 9:40 AM EDT
Although Packers receiver Donald Driver is 37 years old and appears to be slowing down, he doesn’t sound like he has any doubt that he’ll be playing in Green Bay this season.
Driver said on ESPN Radio that he believes he has another year or two with the Packers, and then he’ll retire.
“I’ll be in Green Bay. I’m not going anywhere,” Driver said, via ESPNMilwaukee.com. “I’ve always said I want to retire as a Packer, I think the organization knows that, so we’re going to come together. We’re going to make a decision. One, two more years, and then I’ll put my cleats on the shelf and sit back in Dallas and relax. It’s family.”
Driver’s current contract calls for him to get a $1.5 million roster bonus on the first day of training camp and a $2.6 million salary that, because he’s a vested veteran, would be guaranteed if he’s on the roster for Week One, and he’s just not worth that kind of money anymore. But Driver’s agent, Jordan Woy, has said they’re in touch about restructuring the deal, and Driver doesn’t sound like a man who’s going to balk at taking a pay cut.
So Driver is likely to remain in Green Bay. Even though, at this point, he’s no better than their fifth-best receiver.

Had they been able to negotiate half-way through the season he likely wouldn't have gotten all that money.
Keep up.

The @Donald_Driver80 agent Jordan Woy just emailed: "We have agreed to terms with the Packers but need to review it tomorrow to finalize."

Eatman: Sounds Like WR Driver Staying In Green Bay
Posted by nickeatman at 5/29/2012 1:12 PM CDT on dallascowboys.com
One of the veteran receivers Cowboys fans haven’t stopped talking about here lately is Green Bay veteran Donald Driver, whose future with the Packers has been sketchy.
At age 37 and the Packers having a slew of young receivers, it seemed Driver would be on his way out.
And who knows, that very well could be the case. But Driver said recently he believes he will play 1-2 more years with Green Bay before retiring. The fact he plans to retire in Dallas was one of the reasons that led to the speculation of him possibly playing with the Cowboys before he called it quits. “I’ll be in Green Bay. I’m not going anywhere,” Driver said on ESPNMilwaukee.com. “I’ve always said I want to retire as a Packer, I think the organization knows that, so we’re going to come together. We’re going to make a decision. One, two more years, and then I’ll put my cleats on the shelf and sit back in Dallas and relax. It’s family.”
Driver enters the final year of his contract and is expected to count $5 million on the Packers’ cap, including about $2.6 million in salary. If the two sides “come together” as Driver said, it’s likely he would agree to take a pay cut.
That’s something that always sounds easier said than done. So while it’s likely safe to scratch Driver off the wish list, you never know how these things will shake out.
