The way these teams are just giving away money it feels like last year was the worst year to get hurt but everything nHappens for a REASON

Dude, stfu. I'm getting a little done with him. Seems like all he cares about is getting paid.

Yeah, it's obvious he's talented if McC/Gruden want to lock him down multi-year but the whole "firing his agent because he wants a one year prove it deal" screams that he's not interested in a long term career here. Oh well. Plus his past issues have me semi-convinced he's probably not a good person off the field.

What's wrong with a player wanting to get paid? Not everyone can take discounts like Tom Brady. Probably shouldn't be tweeting stuff like that, but this is always going to be the opposing forces: teams wanting to get the best players for the cheapest/less risky price and players wanting to get the most guaranteed money.

Nothing but I have no doubts we have expressed interest in paying him fair market value over a long term contract, but he wants 1 year at a decent rate so he can get paid even more next offseason. He's projecting himself as a guy who will go to the highest bidder, regardless of how good they are, what they ask him to do, etc. How often does that work out for any NFL player?
