That is a 2 way street brother.
I'll certainly second that! In the old days of the NFL, when you could keep a team together forever, and gaurenteed contracts were the norm, then you could possibly make the argument you are FF, but in today's world of free agency and parody, there is no reason why a player shouldn't have a "take all I can" attitude; I wuold likely do the same thing, and you, despite what you might say, probably would too.
I can't stand the Raiders and I want nothing more than for that team to fall apart, but Gannon has been a class act who is
the leader on that offense. Without his presence this team is nowhere near what it is now, or has been for the past couple of years. Two Pro Bowls, an AFC championship appearance, and missed call away from another championship appearacne deserve to be rewarded with something more than #25 on the starting QB pay scale. He deserves to get paid, at least, top 10 QB money for a couple of years, end of story.
