Pro
2009 outlook: Chillar was arguably the team’s best linebacker last season. After splitting snaps with Brady Poppinga to start the season, he started the final seven games after Nick Barnett’s season-ending knee injury. He’s not a physical run defender like Poppinga but he’s terrific in pass defense. He wound up with nine passes defensed — more than A.J. Hawk (three), Barnett (two) and Poppinga (one) combined — and did good work against Dallas’ Jason Witten and Chicago’s Greg Olsen. He’s moving from an outside linebacker in the 4-3 to an inside linebacker in the 3-4. He took Barnett’s place during the offseason workouts, and given Hawk’s poor play in coverage last season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Chillar replace him on passing downs.
2008: Officially signed a two-year deal with the Packers on March 24. ... His base salary for the 2008 season is $1.1 million. In addition to the $1 million roster bonus, he can make $18,750 for each game he appears in 2008, worth a total of $300,000 if he plays in 16 games. There are also $100,000 workout bonuses in both years of the deal. ... There is a play-time incentive and escalator that could earn him as much as $1 million. If he plays 65 percent of the defense’s snaps, he’ll earn $250,000 this year and have another $250,000 added to his base salary next year. If he plays in 70 percent of the snaps, the number goes up to $500,000. ... Base salary in 2009 is $1.35 million and there is another per-game roster bonus topping out at $300,000.
