Why are the Packers being pricks to Ryan Grant?

It turns out there is another very important player on the Packers who is having a contract issue. Ryan Grant, who stormed his way into the ESPN Fantasy Football Hall of Fame with him performance last season, is still unsigned. If he doesn't report, the Pack will go with Brandon Jackson, who has started ZERO games in his career. Word on the street is that McCarthy has been walking around at half mast over how Jackson has looked lately, so it doesn't appear that the Pack is willing to budge a whole lot on Grant. The situation is sort of bizarre though. Grant started 8 games last season, and in his career. But he was really, really good in most of those. He is 25 years old. But again, he came out of the blue, and has only really played a half season. He is a "restricted rights" free agent, meaning he plays for the Packers or nobody, and the only leverage he has is to not sign at all and not play, and make no money. Arguably, he has no leverage at all. Especially since the Pack seems happy with Brandon Jackson. Another problem he has is that Favre is overshadowing everything, every is sort of ignoring Grant, so there isn't much outward pressure on the Pack to do anything. Grant is seeking 6 yr/40mil, with incentive based bonuses (including apparently $10mil if he runs for 2000 yds). Personally, that doesn't seem overly ridiculous, and if he runs for 2000 yds (which has been done like 4 times ever) then he is probably worth the 10mil. BUT, the position of RB is not one that teams should overpay for unless that player is irreplaceable, because they can quickly become replaceable (see Shaun Alexander). Right now I would argue that only LDT and A Peter would be worth long term investments. The rest are a tweaked ankle away from losing a step, which in the NFL means you fucking suck. Every year there are two or three guys that come out of the blue when the big time starter gets hurt, and run for a shitload of yards. Those players either become the starter themselves, or fade into oblivion. (see Ryan Grant, Ernest Graham, Ahmad Bradshaw, Justin Fargas, Dorsey Levens, Ahman Green, Edgar Bennett, Terdell Middleton, etc.). Of course the NFL isn't like baseball where everything is guaranteed, so they could just cut his ass after two years if he sucks, but they would lose out on the bonuses they gave up, which I assume would be sizable. I think the Pack should be fair, but not overpay. Right now, I according to Grant they aren't being fair. I think they will be fine without him. Alot of times the RB isn't as important as the O-line (Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson). But whatever the Pack is offering is alot more than Grant could make by taking his degree from Notre Dame and being a bank teller. I'm just sayin'.
