First of all, welcome. Please post more.
But to your point, which is valid, perhaps he is over estimating his talent and value, but who isn't? None of them have played one down in the NFL.
Aren't they
really getting paid for their potential. Sure talent plays a key role in determing the value of these athletes, but how can you tell me Calvin Johnson is worth north of $60MM and Quinn is being nickeled and dimed by the Browns when they both were big time college athletes?
I know Johnson v. Quinn are apples and oranges I'm comparing, but there's something to be said about the culture of the current NFL and how they value athletes.
