He's in the prime of his career and wanted to be payed what he felt he was worth. The organization decided not to do that long term. I don't feel the need to really hold that against the player or the organization. It is what it is.

I agree, but then why be the only tagged player to hold out in TC and act all disgruntled? Is he not also being paid fairly this season? Would've been nice to at least have him at TC to mentor Eric Murray and the other young DB's. I think we've paid him enough and "did our part" to deserve that.

Yeah he's being paid fairly. 10.8 mil, which when taxed I figure he'll get around 6.5 or 7. Awesome money.

But after having a life altering disease, I get wanting to setget a long term security deal and all. He comes into camp, tears his knee up or some big injury, it can effect that security.

Also, look at the other tagged guys. Cousins tag number is more than he'd have gotten this year in a long term deal. Johnson the same.

I don't really like it, would have preferred he be there. But the cba states what it does. It sucks, but again, it is what it is.
