BB, We have way different views when it comes to NFL players in general.............My view is they are all over paid people who get millions to play a game that they love and our fortunate enough to make money by doing/playing so. If they sign a contract they should fulfill it and not try to negotiate there contract's after only being in their new contract for just a year when they signed a 4 year deal. Holding out is [Bleeeeep!]..........FYI.............Lynch/Bennett. They should be thankful they have a good pay check and play on a winning team.............instead being lil beeyotches going into training camp......RWIII is a way different situation.............I think some of this contract stall out is due to how much his X-wife will end up with.............and will she get anything if there's no new deal this season?????. Where else can a regular guy who loves the game of football get so lucky to play a few years in the NFL make 10 million stub there toe..........than go start a car dealership.....Good luck,

SZ

My sympathy meter doesn't budge for players or teams.

They both make a fortune, and should be happy to be in the position they are.

Still every player should think they are worth top-dollar, because they should play like they are. And every team should consider their players worth the bare minimum - because they want more money for better players.

Reasonable players and reasonable teams manage to come to an agreement. What more can you expect? Teams to pay top-dollar because they get asked? Players to take small contacts because that's all the team wants to pay?

Yeah. And then we'll go play in the jelly bean fields and watch the cotton candy clouds drift by.

SZ,
Agreed. We seem to have this conversation every off season. Must be the worker bee in me. The NFL makes billions every weekend and in my opinion the players are not getting nearly enough of that pie.

IMO guys like Lynch and JJ Watt should be the highest paid entertainers on the planet. They deserve every dime plus some due to their skill, physical sacrifice and short careers. And the NFL can afford it.

Fortunately Schnieder seems to have the perfect balance of SZ and BB .

And game days will be here soon enough and we can forget about all this crap.

Well said Dan!

It's simply a part of the game.

Hank, for the team it makes sense to do just that. If reports are true, the Hawks are offering a $16M signing bonus. 1 year @ $1.5M + 2 years @ $20M + $16M in a signing bonus equals about what the exclusive tag MIGHT cost them. RW and Paul Allen are pretty skilled in the art of negotiation. Again, we need to chill, Russell will be here for at least the next 3 years as long as the Hawks want him.

Apparently the dollar amount is not as much of an issue as the guarantee he is asking for. If you avg out the franchise amounts and factor in the fact that it's a 100% cap hit I doubt they are far off in dollars. Rumor is that Wilson wants the most guaranteed money ever. That means the owner has to escrow the full guaranteed amount. That gits sticky because Alan is expected to fall in line with what other owners are trying to do and limit the guarantee's so they don't get into the same pickle as the NBA and MLB with contracts.

Or the team thinks they can plug in One of many read option QB,s about to hit the market in the next few years and would prefer to find another dominant RB to fit their formula.

This conversation is for men take your effeminate Dilphins shat and go buy a dress.

What's Harb's been up to since leaving Whiners? Tune in to find out!

Horrible

Bwahahaha.

The top ten best players in the league will be announced today. BeastMode is in there

I would love to see JJ Watt get picked for #1. The forty weeners have ZERO players in the top 100.

The Hawks I believe have 4 in the top 34!! Go Hawks!

I've never seen a reporter end and interview like that!! usually its the reporter that gets hung up on... priceless

The last time God spoke to me I ended up in trouble.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.Good luck,

SZ

This chit is getting phugging stupid. I'm losing respect for some of our entitled brats.

I'd hold out every training camp too!

I'd call it doing a Walter

Walter held out because we franchised just about every year, apple and oranges.

This clown is growing old too...

Michael Bennett, married, wants more money.

Kam Chancellor, engaged, wants more money.

Russell Wilson, Ciara, wants more money.

Nice write up on our first draft pick Frank Clark 6'3" 270lbs 38.5 vertical jump.... He won't get moved around like Irvin does.
