[QUOTE="tromadz, post: 134938, member: 306"] [url=http://www.packersnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070207/PKR01/702070559/1989]packersnews.com[/url] The Green Bay Packers are open to extending linebacker Nick Barnett's contract this offseason and have had amiable preliminary talks with his agent. However, the chances of finishing a deal anytime soon depend in large part on Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs signing a long-term deal with Chicago early this offseason, and also the kind of deal General Manager Ted Thompson and Barnett are willing to accept based off that. Barnett has one year left on his rookie contract at a salary of $691,000, but he has wanted to extend that since last season. The Packers, like many NFL teams recently, appear more willing to be proactive regarding extensions for core players who have a full season or more left on their deals. Barnett's agent, Charles Price, has been talking regularly with Packers Vice President Andrew Brandt since late last year. "We have common starting ground in that they'd like to have Nick for the long haul, and he'd like to be there for the long haul," Price said Tuesday. "That's pretty much all we've established at this point. There's an incredible starting position, and after talking to Andrew Brandt, we both feel good about working together to get this done." --------------------------------------- I hope he stays for years. I like nick. [/QUOTE]
