kmnj Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 looks like revis was just a man ahead of the game-all of these players now are forcing management to pay them or get rid of them. As a fan I would welcome in a stud wr but also as a fan i do not like the direction the league is heading. It reminds me of the NBA . The owners are creating their own monster by signing guys to their teams that just forced their way out of another team 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 These guys haven't held out every year since they got drafted. Nothing like Revis. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Do people think this is something new? lol It’a definitely been an opportunistic market for WR’s of late, and they’re always the biggest diva’s but players are nothing but mercenaries and for good reason. They’ve always wanted to make as much as possible and have done whatever it takes to get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Ridge Jet Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 They have a tiny window to make as much money as possible and the contract isn’t even guaranteed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To us, football is entertainment but, to them, it's their career. If any of us were football players we'd be the same way (chasing the money). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because when they retire from football at age 32 they have no more time or years to earn any more money. They have to live off those 2-10 years of earnings for the next 50-60 years. /s Most of us don't make in a lifetime what some of these guys earn in one season.

Kolchak Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 They won the genetic lottery. They're able to play a game for millions in a league that makes billions for a short while. The players should absolutely scratch and kick for every single extra penny they can get. Besides, i like to think of it as more money for players means less money for Woody Johnson. Probably not true, but I like to think it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Meh .. my only issue is that I preferred when our money was going towards full on bloodsport ...... today any genetically/athletically gifted gent can get paid ... I'd pay millions for a guy risking his life I'd prefer not to pay millions for a guy playing against air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekskill68 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Might be only a matter of time before they start creating Super Team rosters like basketball. Saw a hint of this already where Adams forced his way on to the Raiders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During his second deal Idzik traded him to Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners are creating their own monster by signing guys to their teams that just forced their way out of another team Employees grossly outplaying their rookie deals or not enjoying their time are asking for trades/extensions. Seems reasonable to me. So as a fan, what's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
