T.O what a joke this guy is making himself out to be a bigger idiot! I do get tired of hearing the players saying it is a business. The only people this is a business for is the Owners who own these teams. I don't recall any of the players having an NFL business within the team based on their play. Those associated with the team are an employee of that organization essentially. Last time I checked because I thought I was the best safety specialist in my organization I told my boss I was holding out and would not come to work because I was not paid because I had a good year. Just like T.O and all the NFL players I came in knowing what I was going to get paid and excepted that while I was employed with them. I have to live with that and continue to work until I decide to move onto something bigger and better.

I applaud the Eagles and hope they really stick to their guns and this trend starts to pick up in the NFL especially with the Redskins. If they are a true team player which T.O definitely is not I could see maybe working out something Incentive based instead of paying you on your production from last year, lord knows in the past we have fell into some of those great previous years players and seen the production we got from them the following year. Pay them if they produce that right now is the business side of anything with incentives. T.O's contract is big 8 million or so a year, his agent should have negotiated some incentives in to increase that if T.O had a great year. The Eagles paid him to come in and play like he did get them to the Super Bowl what did he do any different than he was paid to do and agreed to do.
