The deal Andre Dillard signed with the Packers last week contained no signing bonus or guaranteed money. If he makes the team, it’s worth $1,125,000 — the veteran minimum.

1. There you go likely a camp body then.

2. My man is in camp for the free snacks. Pulling for you Andre!

3. You have to love deals like this, zero risk.

4. This is great. For reference even Kristian Welch got the same base salary but also managed to get a small signing bonus, per game roster bonus and workout bonus. Dillard appears to only have the veteran minimum with no bonus or guarantees whatsoever.

5. So they signed him to an exclusive try-out basically? W

6. It’d be news if his contract was anything more than this.

7. How do contracts like this work if he doesn’t make the team? Is it truly $0, or just $0 toward the cap? Don’t we legally have to pay him minimum wage?

8. Tell this to all the people who lost their minds when this signing was announced.

   Somehow, there was an alarming number of people who said we got worse with this signing. I have no idea what logic you’d have to use to come to that conclusion. If he makes the team, great. It’s awesome to give him a shot. If not, great. Someone else more deserving gets the shot. It was always just camps competition.
