Demetri Goodson contract tolled, keeping him with Packers

[gmf1369]

The contract for Packers cornerback Demetri Goodson tolled, keeping him with the Packers this season, according to Michael Cohen of the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Goodson was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.

A contract tolls when a player in the final year of his deal remains on the physically unable to perform list beyond the sixth game of the season.

Goodson, 28, tore his ACL and MCL during the 2016 season. He started training camp on PUP and remained there until December 6. But Goodson did not play last season, ending up on injured reserve after injuring his hamstring.

The Packers have used Goodson mostly as a special teams player since making him a sixth-round pick in 2014. He has three career starts at cornerback.

Same thing could happen with Bridgewater.

Same thing could happen with Bridgewater.

I'd be very surprised if Bridgewater is Tolled. He was medically cleared before week one and resumed practice immediately after week 6. It's not the 6 weeks on pup that counts but when medically cleared. If the Vikings feel they can't land Cousins come the legal tampering period, they could appeal to the league to have his contract Tolled but would not likely win. Bridgewater would then be left looking for a team after the big FA frenzy.

Bridgewater has said that if his contract is tolled he will fight it because he was kept on the list after his doctor cleared him to play. So............I'm guessing he won't be tolled.
