Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

But you'd think they'd just deal with that when the time comes

But isn't that what the impasse is all about. It would be a mutiny if Quinn signs a deal today that is less than market value and gets into camp, only to bitch about his deal in 2009. That's why the rookie deal is so important. He not only has to get a fair amount of bonus money, but he has to be well compensated for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 seasons.

All the players in the draft are trying to accomplish this also, but not every player got a team to mortage a future draft for them. Not since...Rocky McIntosh has this last happened.
