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.

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
