Because it isn't baseball where you're stuck with a bad contract. In the NFL the team can cut out halfway into the contract. So if teams don't honor contracts, players don't need to. In this case we are talking about the last year of his contract and it's standard for a player who is underpaid to lobby for an extension. And it is in the best interest of the packers to get something done earlier because waiting too long puts them at greater risk of losing them. I don't think either party is handling this inappropriately.
