I think Michael Smith on ESPN reported that the Pats may have asked him to take a pay cut- he was set to earn 4.5 next season, but they felt his role wouldn't justify that number.

So you see why it's not always the player who is in the wrong when it comes to renegotiating? This is like your own job telling you they're going to cut your salary next year b/c they think you'll be producing less, although you'll have the same position with the company. Why is it that the players are always the ones at fault by "not honoring their contracts" if they try to renegotiate, but the teams are blameless if they don't honor the original contract either?
