NFL Player Holdouts - 2011

[over the mountain]

i think teams should have a known criteria for when they may consider re-doing a rookie contract. i completely agree with players like chris johnson and jackson.

my criteria:
in your 3rd or 4th year of a rookie contract
making less than 800k per year
top 10 in specific categories or other predetermined criteria

if i was a player like cj or desean and my team didnt want to restructure after ive earned a raise, i would tell them that when my contract expires i will only re-sign with them for 3-5 mil more than it should be to make up for the lost income in my rookie years.

it just seems like bad business to me to short change a premier player who has done alot for your team. that cant brew happiness.
