Tony Mandarich, the Green Bay Packers’ No....
Tony Mandarich, the Green Bay Packers’ No. 1 draft pick, says he is considering taking $500,000 off his demand for a $2-million annual salary.
Mandarich, a 315-pound offensive tackle and the second overall choice in the National Football League draft, said he would accept less than the $11-million, six-year contract that quarterback Troy Aikman, the draft’s No. 1 pick, signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
Mandarich’s agent, Vern Sharbaugh, said he “never discussed that type of move” with Mandarich.
The Packers are offering a four-year, $5.1-million contract.
