Am I missing something? How is he handling the contract stuff the wrong way??

It's been perpetuated by him the whole season by his intended subtle but passive aggressive comments. One noticeable example of that,even went viral of course- the "How you like me now?" outburst and him disrespectfully putting his hands in McCloughan's hair.

Football's a different business of course, but I think that was far from appropriate.

Outside of the 'how you like me now' thing, which I saw as more of a celebratory deal after a pretty big win, how has he perpetuated anything negative about his contract during the season?

I know you want to find anything possible to check away in the negative column right now, but I really think you're reaching by trying to say he's been a distraction with the contract stuff. Big time reaching.

He freely engaged and was willing to talk about it during the season. And the media discussed it at least on a weekly basis. It appeared to be distraction to him and to the team. That shouldn't happen.

Well yeah, of course the media is going to ask about it constantly and he gave pretty canned and mundane responses.

Did he ever say anything inflammatory or controversial? I'm really struggling to see this angle at all.

Oh even- just the "How you like me know?" was bad enough. But he should have just not talked about it. Just STFU already.

I don't remember any other QB on any team where this was a constant discussion point during the season.

What did he ever say that was so egregious?? I'm still waiting for some proof of how he's such a money grubbing selfish jerk. You're making it seem like he called a weekly press conference to just talk about his contract.

He's only the 2nd QB to play on the franchise tag (Brees 2005), so yeah maybe that's why it's been a topic of discussion.
