Revis and Mankins Not Happy

[Monkeydad]

Revis is demanding to be paid as the top-earning CB...after playing ONE season and being tied for 5th in interceptions?


Play out the contract you signed and earn your money, kid.

While a rookie pay scale is necessary, we also need to keep these greedy sophomores from demanding immediate pay raises after 16 games. Sure, total busts won't get rewarded with a pay scale, but I think a player should have to prove himself beyond one season to get top money in most cases.

So far, Revis is not proving to be worth paying with his selfishness in year #2.


As for Mankins...he has more of a case. He's a quality o-lineman and is probably worth more than $1.54 million that the Pats could be cutting his salary to. Tom Brady has stayed pretty clean over the years and Mankins is part of the reason why. (refs and the Commish help too)

Also, Bellichick and the New England organization has gained a reputation for not treating their own with a lot of respect over the years...from the "practice when you're injured" incidents to some shady deals being made (Cassell).
