Holding out while still under contract

This isn't about the "the one who shall not be named", but a general question. How do you feel about the whole 'holding out while under contract' scenerio.

Shouldn't the player honor the contract signed?  Or try and renegotiate without the threat of a hold out?

Opinions please

I think it's the player's prerogative, particularly when it comes to rookie contracts that are slotted and that a player can potentially outperform. If a team can decide that someone is overpaid and cut them, why can't they decide they're underpaid and try their won tactic?

That said, it applies most clearly when someone's perfomrance is consistently on a tier or two above their current contract. If they signed a top-end deal and are griping about it in 2 years, I feel that that is a different story.

Do the team cut them with a contract? Why do the players always have to do things the team don't?

The the has Billions the players Millions so I'ma side with the players, pay them or let them go to a team that will.  

As soon as they are of no use to the NFL they will be kicked to the side with no after though.

I don’t blame burns for holding out considering we can terminate the contract whenever we see fit. I’m more annoyed by fitterer A. Not trading him for two 1s and B. Not having a deal done this summer 

5th year option is 100% guaranteed so long as he shows up.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
