Shields is apparently trying to get back into the league. ... I wonder how much of that 39M contract from 2014 Sam was able to earn out. Looks like he got 12.5 right away. Probably 25+ all in?? After taxes, 15. That's money that 99% of Americans only dream about. Hope he didn't spend it all already and isn't messing with his brain to make more money.
From Wikipedia: "On March 8, 2014, just days away from becoming a free agent, Shields signed a four-year contract with the Packers for $39 million, including a signing bonus of $12.5 million."
