Nublar7 said:If you read the news you will see that Ronnie is really anxious to get into camp and is even calling players just to see how everything is going. Ronnie wants to be here, but he also wants a fair deal. This is after all his job and this is the biggest financial move he will ever make in his life. Don't say that he has no heart because he isn't signed after just one preseason game(yes two, after tomorrow). This is how the NFL works.
EXACTLY. I say again -- people are like "Whats the difference between $18M and $20M?" I say -- "The TWO MILLION DOLLARS that he is DUE because of his market value." Those of you that say that "if you were making that type of money, you wouldn't be complaining...." EVERYTHING is relative! I said this in another thread, but what if you had to hold out and stay your ground for a $10,000 raise, and it took you three weeks of being persistent. Was it worth it, or should you shut up and be happy with the $50K you are making?
I don't like the fact that he is expensive. Nor do I like the fact that he isn't holding out. But to be so scathing because this guy wants a FAIR deal like Nub said, you guys need to just chill. It seems like an eternity to us. Imagine what it feels like to him!
I wouldn't mind having a Ladanian Tomlinson or Edge on this team, lets hope he is as good as he seems like he can be. But stop knocking the future of our franchise because you are impatient.
