This, yes.

And that's every reason why vets deserve to get MORE than unproven rookies...

yeah, they only won 8 games....8 of their last 10 games once Vince Young came in....they were 0-6 when the owner demanded that VY start.

NFL players are NOT overpaid. These guys risk injury to life and limb every time they step on the field. When you've got a 300 pound man running at you at 18 miles an hour, it's a health risk.

Furthermore, the players are entitled to 64% of the "revenue", even though the owners won't open the books for the union to observe. It's a joke.

Without the players, there IS no NFL. The players are what fill the seats, pay the bills, sell the jerseys and make the NFL a multi-billion dollar corporation, free of Anti-Trust laws.

The players deserve everything they can get.
Especially the leagues best players.

Players that guys buy tickets to see, buy the jersey of... even if they arent a fan of the team.

Players like Chris Johnson.

PAY

THE

MAN

A guy like Chris Johnson has to have well paying endorsement deals
You'd think it would be written into those deals
If you're setting for other than injury we get some of those millions back

I'm not playing for $550K either. Take that, Clark!

I don't either but I also like to see a man honor the contract he signed....
I hope he holds out, looks like Young and Johnson may be out for the Raiders opener in Nashville :clap:

I like the idea that the Tits can turn the screws on his ass too, it's about time they give the teams some leverage.

I don't see why some of you guys would be rooting for the team in this case.Johnson had a monster rookie year.Then he blew that away with a historical season in terms of yards from scrimmage last year.This is one time for sure that they should count their blessings and reward him.Look at some of the dipshits in the league who make much more.I also don't think he is near done.They can get several more years out of him at a very high level without 2000 yd type seasons.

Sign a Jamarcus Russell and see how you feel about players who don't honor their contracts.

Oh and laugh at those pathetic Raiders for being the ones getting screwed because I can't honestly say I would not laugh and make smartass remarks had you guys been the one who drafted him...:doh!:

Consistent1 06-17-2010 06:09 AM
I agree on the Russell deal,but you can't compare CJ to that.If anything that supports the idea that if guys come in and play with pride and work hard,they should get an upgrade.The Russell type deals are what need to go.That shit hurts the quality of the league.Even Revis deserves pretty good treatment.The players can go overboard wanting,but sometimes it is only right.Like people have said,the teams will cut the shit out of guys and not think twice.

well then lets do it this way, ..... if you perform, you get paid at the end of the year for what you did,but the next year if you don't perform, you have to pay the money back.... Deal?

buddha 06-17-2010 08:39 AM
Chris Johnson deserves to get paid. The kid is seriously sick...he is crazy fast.

he wasn't a top five pick. he was a late first rounder, those guys never break the bank. it's not like he's making tyson jackson money.

Hog's Gone Fishin 06-17-2010 09:12 AM
Greedy ****ing bastards ! He should honor his contract and EARN his pay. One or two good seasons does not make you great. Let's see if he can last more than a few years in the league.

the raiders are the other side of the coin. they cut russell loose because he wasn't performing.

that's just it: johnson has outperformed his contract by FAR, he's earned a healthy raise. if he hadn't, and was a dissappointment, he'd have been cut. the teams have no emotion behind their decisions, it's just business.

they wouldn't hesitate for a MINUTE to cut johnson if he wasn't performing. he has to get his whenever and however he can.

Hootie 06-17-2010 09:32 AM
I agree 100% with Chris Johnson.

He's clearly outperformed his contract...time to tear it up and pay the man what he's worth.

Ebolapox 06-17-2010 09:33 AM
frankly, it frightens me that h00tie is on my side in this. maybe I'm wrong about all this...
