Holding out while still under contract

[pantherclaw]

This is the double standard fans have. 

They want players to get as much money as possible,  as long it's not from the owner of the team they cheer for. 

Seriously,  wtf.

Have you ever heard the term salary cap or team building?

I have no issues with a player holding out... this sport moves fast... and if they miss one opportunity to get paid then they can miss out for good. 

These kids are asked to do a lot and there is so much money that moves through this industry... if they deserver to get paid.... then they should fight for it.

I always find it weird how teams will sign a player to a 5 year contract but more often then not it is a 3 or 4 year contract because 3 or 4 years into the deal the player will want another contract or hold out and not play.

I’ll always side with labor over billionaire owners.

The team can fire you whenever they want and not think twice about it. Get your money bois.

Burns has already been offered guaranteed generational wealth.   Even if fired.

I show up Sunday to cheer Brian Burns get a strip sack. Not David Teppah making an extra $5 million.

 

always side with the players getting it while they can

That’s awesome, but if he feels he deserves more and can get it…get your money. Secure the bag as the kids say.

I'll side with good management of the NFL salary cap and roster management. 

David Tepper is fine.   Brian Burns is fine.  Both of them will finish their time with more money than a human needs or can use.   Brian Burns could sign a deal today....and his kids and grandchildren should never have to work again.

Its not about tepper getting paid......this deal has no bearing on him not making money or spending money

 They are just being capitalists 

At the base of capitalism is making good on a contractual promise.  Breaking a contract is definitely not capitalism.
