The difference is clear - one of these players is under contract. The other is not. One of them is making goundless demands. The other is negotiating.

Rogers signed a contract and is still contractualy obligated to play for the washington redskins for TWO more years... yet he allegedly has demanded a trade. Thats very toolish if you ask me.

Hall is whats known as a free agent. He has no contractual obligations to the washington redskins. He is not (allegedly) making threats or demands. We got half a seasons worth of play out of him at a bargain price. He, like anyone would, refused to accept a teams first, lowball offer of 12M dollars. Probably a good thing to, because he will get substantially more on the open market. Hall allegedly proposed to stay in washington for 16M garaunteed. Considering what he will get on the open market, that is a substantial hometown discount.

Assuming the leaked info on both Hall and Rogers is true, Rogers is a total Tool in the mold of T.O. and Hall is just a guy with a very smart agent, who offered the team he wants to play for a nice hometown discount... Joe Gibbs had a phrase for guys like that. what was it again?

EDIT: I may have taken that a bit too far with that last part, lol
