Sellers believes he's due for raise

When the guy doesn't fumble on the 1 and decides to not half-ass warm-ups, then we can talk. He's under contract and not in his final year, STFU and play.


I am sure that will go over well with him. Especially since that is how they treat Portis and every free agent who gets flown in on a private jet.

Look at Randle-El. He contributes one trick play a year to the team and gets paid #2 or #1 WR money.

I've never seen a pro-bowl player who's as much a team player as Mike Sellers is catch so much s**t from his own teams fans. I'd ask for the money too. It's not like he's holding out. Even Stump Mitchell sees him playing a few more years. Why not renegotiate his contract? We've renegotiated lots of others. I could see him playing 4 or 5 more years.

I think he deserves it, but now is not the time to be dealing with that. Unlike the JC media comments, I do think this is a time to tell your agent what you want, and go out and bust your ass to prove it.

after the season I hope he gets a good bump or extension.

True. I agree.

I think it's a smart move by the FO. No matter what happens this year it's not like next year if he becomes a free agent teams will be going hard after a 35 year old fullback. I think he deserves more money, but I don't know if anybody is willing to give it to him.

Guys, it's nice to think "He played hard, give him more money." Are you the same fans that bitch about our lack of cap space? The FO inability to make shrewd moves? If you thought paying an over the hill free agent is bad, why would you pay an over the hill player under contract.

I'd love to say "Sure, give him more money, he's played hard!" but lets face it, it is a bad business move. Save the money, let Sellers walk IN TWO YEARS, and thank him for his service. Don't throw precious cap space away on a 35 year old fullback. I realize NFL players have short careers and they sacrifice their bodies for the game -- but the man is due 900,000, he's not starving.

Crystalized my thoughts eloquently.

He contributes one trick play a year to the team and gets paid #2 or #1 WR money.I don't write the checks, but if I did ARE probably wouldn't be here and if he was it would be for a lot less. If you look at Portis' contract structure his days may be numbered after this year also.

yeah, but pay him next year, you know there won't be a cap ;)

Seller's brought up a great point the other day, when he said he gets paid less than most of the FB's in the league, most of them who haven't even made a pro bowl. He's one of the top 2 best fullbacks in the league, hands down.
