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. |

I don't think he is. I saw an interview with Quinn, and he's not asking for top 10 numbers, they are off on incentives for a starting QB. The more I hear him talk, the more I don't blame him for holding out a little. What if he becomes a stud QB and throws for 4k yards and 28+ tds? He'll get paid 1 mil? Why is Cleveland afraid to give him a contract with incentives?

I think he was wise to wait for contract to include incentives, and I think the Browns undersold him from the get go.
