And THAT is where we disagree.I understand the concept of setting a bad precedent with player contracts. And I respect that stance. I just don’t agree with trying to make X out to be a greedy, selfish, me first player. He has a great argument that he deserves a better deal. I think Darren Waller is in a similar predicament. And if the Raiders signed Hunter Henry for a million more per season he’d probably be sitting out too.
If Byron Jones was Ramsey then I don’t think X would give a **** that he makes a little less. I don’t think that he likes being underpaid so they can overpay a player at the same position. It’s difficult for me to find fault in that.
Hey FD happy Sunday. Can you do me a favor and define 'honor' in the sense you hold near and dear to it with contracts. And define it for both parties please. Be specific, no generalities. I'm still trying to understand the core of you stance.And THAT is where we disagree.
I believe in honor, and following what you've agreed to do.
He doesn't.
The difference is you can find other good LBs etc. So if everyone was to come w their hat out, you’d tell them to take a dump in it.My only concern is this.
Baker, Sanders, Mckinney all go on to have career years.
Based on giving a little extra to Howard.. why would every other player on the team not feel they could get a little bit more every season they play good?
Way to soon for just a little more.
If that's the case, Miami might as well just do 2 year contracts and do extensions based on that first year.
With all their 1 and 3 yr contracts that may be their goal actually lol
If X was injured in game 2 last season, he would be cut right now. Earning $0 from his remaining contract. There is no honor for teams in the NFL. Where’s the honor in that?And THAT is where we disagree.

The contract would have been honored per the CBA agreed on by players and the league.If X was injured in game 2 last season, he would be cut right now. Earning $0 from his remaining contract. There is no honor for teams in the NFL. Where’s the honor in that?
So you define honor as simply legally fulfilling?The contract would have been honored per the CBA agreed on by players and the league.
Per the CBA. Negotiate better next time.So you define honor as simply legally fulfilling?
No, that's cool. When X pays his fines he is honoring his contract and we are all good.Per the CBA. Negotiate better next time.
Yep.No, that's cool. When X pays his fines he is honoring his contract and we are all good.
While I agree, the issue is this has now created a problem where you are telling 51 other players they are not as important as the 52nd.The difference is you can find other good LBs etc. So if everyone was to come w their hat out, you’d tell them to take a dump in it.

While that may be true, it's not smart when rebuilding a team, or trying to build a culture on a team
Yet another concept you do not understand?........ Lol...kidding bro.Hey FD happy Sunday. Can you do me a favor and define 'honor' in the sense you hold near and dear to it with contracts. And define it for both parties please. Be specific, no generalities. I'm still trying to understand the core of you stance.
