Last year a player used the free market and was paid 21 million dollars based on market demand and incentive pay. "Greed is Good"

Last year a player used the free market and signed a multi-year contract that guaranteed him over 15 million dollars. Greed is Good

This year an owner was able to release a player and divest himself of 12.5 million dollars worth of future penalties associated with a players contract. Greed is Good

This year an owner divested himself of many contractual liabilities based on a publicly known timeline and labor agreement.

Greed is Good

This year, a during a time where owners are percieved to be taking advantage of players, a player signed a milti year contract with a guaranteed amount of 41 million dollars. Greed is Good

Translation: Benefitting from a free market does not make someone (owner or player) a bad guy. It makes them human.

On one side of the coin, players deserve everything they can get. If the market says pay them 90 million they should get that much.

On the other side, owners deserve every penny they earn. They earn every penny and do their best to maximize profit (by attempting to increasing income and limiting the number of 91 million dollar contracts)

This is the free market ( a version of it...) Stop hatin

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By strato · Posted

      I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

      We signed Lloyd

      By strato · Posted

      He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.

      Steelers sign RB Rico Dowdle

      By strato · Posted

      They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
