Couch and Huard were signed for similiar base salaries. I can't tell if Damon got a Signing bonus, but Couch got a small one. Couch's contract was 1 year and Damon's was 2 years making 600,000 this season and 665000 next (according to NFLPA.org).

Andrew Kessler, an associate of Couch's agent, Tom Condon, said the deal with Green Bay calls for Couch to count $1.25 million against the Packers' salary cap this year, including a base salary of $625,000 and a signing bonus of $625,000.

Couch has the potential to make as much as $4 million, based on incentives. One would be met if he is on the field for at least half of the Packers' snaps. That seems unlikely since Favre has started 208 consecutive games and rarely misses playing time.

Kinda disappointing, after all of the hype...

I doubt that he did. He was not the overall number 1 pick.

Here is an interesting article about how the minimums work.

But in my previous post, I said that we could sign Booth to be our third stringer, that way we could list him as emergency QB, or even have him fill in at receiver or on special teams if needed. And we could just pay him the minimum, and his agent would not insist on a two year contract.
I'm assuming you are talking about WR John Booth (formerly) from our practice squad?

Is he a legit QBOTF candidate?

I'd rather have Couch at a few hundred K more cap space with the potential that a #1 overall QB comes with, than a purely "emergency" QB/WR that we cut from our practice squad.

CF, is the Britney thing in your sig fr0m a movie or something?

I'm really surprised by this. I thought Smith may have had some long-term big upside. I guess not. Hopefully, Parker will.

Expect him to show up on the practice squad to work on that long-term-upside. I'm guessing they thing Horn has more short-term upside at this point.

What good does it do to keep Huard at this point? He is not the QBOTF, will probably never see the field as a Chief, hell Collins never even gets to take snaps. Lastly at this point in the season we already look like a tank job so why not keep Smith at a spot we need and let him grow. Terrible move to let Smith go and bring back Huard. The only reason I could see to do so is at the chance to trade Huard for a pick should someone go down.

Well, I doubt that Couch will ever be a number 1 again, and if he is it will only be for a bad team. I don't think that very many third string QB's have a realistic chance at becoming starters, and especially not third string QB's who have been starters and are now third stringers.

I was under the impression it was geared more towards her 13-14 year old girl fans and not her 35-40 year old male fans.

Well, it probably was, but my 30 year old worse half, and my 8 year old daughter sure do seem to like it. I have only had to watch that crap 20 times or so.

Your wife knows you call her your worse half?

Well, that is what I call her now, until she isn't.
