Why would they care about his salary?
1) If he doesn't play for them, they don't have to pay him $12.5 million.
2) That is not a team hurting for money. So even if he does come back and play, there are no budget constraints, and there's no salary cap problem. What, is the team going to somehow put that $12.5 million in cap space to other good use at this point? Who exactly are they going to go out and sign with all that space? Vinny Testaverde?
His pay is a non issue to the Packers.
