It's a business and he is grossly underpaid for the talent he brings

That's the way it works it works. Granted, $1.8 million ain't much for a player of his caliber, but he'll get his big payday eventually. If he was really worried about money, he stop being a jackass and racking up all those fines!

Meanwhile back in Charlotte, Trai is playing on the same salary and not being a little bitch about it:

"Selected in the third round of the 2014 draft, Turner has just one year left on his rookie deal and is in line to cash in on the impressive start to his career. Turner, however, made it clear he didn't want to discuss his contract status. Instead, he's focused on helping the Panthers bounce back from the first season in his career that didn't end with a playoff game."

And if Trai heaven forbid suffers a Dante Culpepper style knee injury then guys career earnings went to the waste side (see LeCharles Bentley). There's no right side to this but you shouldn't be vilified for asking market value when the other side can cut you at any moment when your production doesn't match your salary

I hear ya, but with the salary cap being what it is, and the huge contracts players are signing once eligible, It's hard for franchises to keep good players without exploiting (not sure this is the right word) the rookie contracts. I don't hate OBJ for trying to get paid or skipping voluntary workouts... I hate him for being such a crybaby turd.

That's the rookie contract a chance to play for a bigger contract. He should honor his commitment.

Technically, he's not holding out, right?  He's just not taking part in voluntary workouts and will be there when they become mandatory.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
