It's far too much of a "me" league. His excuse that he won't honor his contract because NFL teams don't honor the players contracts is B.S. As a player, you are a product of the team, and all contracts are able to be broken at any time by the NFL team that you have a deal with. You as a player, has to understand you're not bigger than the team.

When you can run a 4.2 40 yard dash, avoid NFL defenders and run for 2,000 yards on an 8-8 team, I'm sure that NFL teams would be lining up to sign you to a huge contract, probably worth around $40 million over four years.
Until then, everything you stated is completely irrelevant.
It's like saying "Give me $20 million dollars and I'll star in Iron Man II".
The fact of the matter is that no one, probably not even your parents, would pay a penny to see you perform at the local playhouse.
Perspective.
