Offseason programs are getting started in the NFL today

Oren Burks Jersey , and the Packers are giving their players millions of reasons to attend voluntary workouts.The two biggest workout bonuses in any NFL contracts this year are the $750,000 bonus in Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith‘s new contract and the $650,000 bonus in Packers linebacker Preston Smith‘s new contract, according to Field Yates of ESPN.By putting such big workout bonuses in player contracts, Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Ted Thompson, who regularly put big workout bonuses in players’ contracts.It makes sense for the Packers in particular because Green Bay J’Mon Moore Jersey , Wisconsin, isn’t exactly America’s hottest spring break destination. It’s probably easier for a team like the Miami Dolphins or Los Angeles Rams to convince players to come to town for voluntary workouts in April than it is for a team located in Green Bay.NFL players get a standard pay of $175 a day for participating in offseason workouts. For minimum-salary players, that’s a nice enticement — not to mention that a lot of those minimum-salary players are desperate to take every opportunity they can to impress their teams, as there’s no guarantee they’ll make the roster in the regular season.But for highly paid veterans who don’t really need the money and know they’re going to make the team, a workout bonus is an inducement to show up even for work that is voluntary. The Green Bay Packers got some discouraging news early this week on the offensive line, as backup tackle Jason Spriggs was placed in the concussion protocol following last week’s loss in Chicago. However, the team did get some fortunate news on that front Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , as starter Bryan Bulaga is returning to action this week.Bulaga will start at right tackle, returning from a torn MCL after a two-week layoff. That means the team should have their four best starters on the line, with David Bakhtiari, Lane Taylor, and Corey Linsley all good to go. Look for Lucas Patrick to join the group once again at right guard as well.Meanwhile, the Packers continued to deactivate a few intriguing young players on gameday despite them being on the 53-man roster. Perhaps most notable among that group is outside linebacker Kendall Donnerson, a seventh-round draft pick from this spring. The team will suit up only three edge rushers for yet another game today rather than giving Donnerson a chance to put his tremendous athletic abilities to use in game action.Finally JK Scott Jersey , the Packers made one roster move on Saturday, promoting running back Lavon Coleman to the active roster from the practice squad. That gives the team three running backs for today’s game, with Coleman and recent addition Kapri Bibbs backing up Jamaal Williams.Here’s the list of inactive players for the Packers for today’s game against the New York Jets.Packers InactivesQB Tim BoyleDT Kenny ClarkWR Randall CobbOLB Kendall DonnersonWR Allen LazardG Nico SiragusaOT Jason Spriggs
