GREEN BAY, Wis. - Six months ago, Bashaud Breeland was an $8 million-a-year cornerback for the Carolina Panthers.
Now, he might be one of the biggest bargains in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers.
The contract Breeland signed with the Packers on Wednesday is for one year and the veteran's minimum of $790,000. But he won't even collect the full amount because he didn't sign until Week 4. It also includes a $90,000 bonus to be paid in three $30,000 installments during the season, a source said.
But for a man who has a dollar sign tattooed on his right biceps, this isn't about the money.
