Good point. $8 million over 10 years is less sad (not as sad?), but sad nonetheless. And what's worse is that it's former Redskins great Mark Murphy behind all this. What's most remarkable is that the Packers are so far under the cap, that they seemingly have no problem dedicating a large chunk of their money to tell their best player ever to stay home. Must be nice.
