I can't help but feel that the NFL is headed in the wrong direction with all the big fat contracts that players have been getting recently. I have nothing against the players maximizing their earnings but I'm a bit disgusted with owners and how much they are willing to pay these guys. I mean, what happens when Portis goes down for couple of games or even worse the entire season? Giving guys contracts like these will only hurt the team. This is no longer a team, it is every player for himself.
