Packers Reportedly Have Offered Wilson Contract Worth $400,000

Marc Wilson, the Raiders’ once and perhaps future quarterback, has an offer, but it’s not from the silver and black.

Try the Green Bay Packers.

However, the Green Bay offer has been reported to be $400,000, a lowball bid that would suggest that the Packers--who say they are committed to incumbent Randy Wright--are interested only in getting Wilson cheap if the Raiders don’t re-enter the picture.

And the Packers think that’s exactly what will happen.

“The L.A. Raiders want him back, naturally,” Tom Braatz, Packer personnel director, told the Milwaukee Sentinel. “I think deep down, when it’s all over, he’ll probably go back to the Raiders.”

Wilson acknowledged receiving the offer.

“I think it’s an ongoing thing,” he said from his home in Seattle. “I hope their offer is a starting place.”

Would he play in Green Bay?

“Sure. No question about that.”

Has he had any others?

“I guess it depends on what you mean by an offer. I would say, we have not gotten any other concrete offers.”

Several sources say the Raiders and Wilson had reached tentative agreement in May on a one-year contract, for about $650,000, but that the deal foundered on the issue of guaranteeing the contract.

The Raiders would have been protecting themselves only against an injury, since Mike Shanahan is known to want Wilson as his No. 1 quarterback, but talks broke down and Wilson was then made a free agent.
