I think it is a really touchy subject and I thought long and hard before I wrote and posted it to this thread.

To be honest, NFL players (just like any other professionals) are very competitive about their salaries. I also think that race is a huge issue in the NFL, as well as in the general landscape. Now, I firmly do not believe the signing of Archuleta had much to do with race, but do I believe that some players might view it that way? Yes.

Is Sean Taylor already upset about his contract? Yes.

Do many of the Redskins feel that their personnel strategy favors outside free agents? Yes.

When people feel like they aren't getting their due, do they have a habit of looking for reasons to be bitter? Yes!

That's all I'm saying.
