Packers' WR Donald Driver agrees to contract extension!
5yrs-$14 million with about a $4 million signing bonus.
Implications for Peerless?
He will undoubtedly ask for much more than this!

I would resign too if I was Favre's favorite receiver. -
Packers got him cheap..........Driver would have rec'd more on the FA market, but this is a prime example of a player understanding that it's often better to stay where you became successful. He receives the signing bonus this season and the amortization starts this season, thus it's actually a 4 yr extension.
Peerless and his agent will start at about $5 million/seasonComment

from ESPN Insider
Packers: On Monday, Green Bay signed its leading receiver, Donald Driver, to a five-year contract worth about $3 million a year, including a $4 million signing bonus, according to an NFL source. That's well below the fair market value Driver would have seen as a free agent in the offseason, but Driver wanted to stick with the organization that stuck by him. "It was loyalty," Driver told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The fans, the coaches, the players, it can't get any better than this, and that makes the decision easy for you. I talked to Coach and he said, 'Hey, quit looking. You're not going anywhere. Whatever I'm going to have to do to keep you here, I'm going to do it.' And my wife, she said. 'Hey, I don't want to go find any new friends. I love Green Bay, the fans, the coaching staff, the wives ...' She didn't want to go anywhere, so that made it pretty much easy after that."Comment
