No we don't. The front office have negotiated a lot of contracts without hitches since mr Snyder took over. Some of them were very much biased towards the players. Every player out there knows the Skins are capable of paying out big bucks on new contracts. One bit of bad news doesn't mean they'll all hate us.

Consider the TO situation. Anyone seriously believe the 49ers FO will suffer any fallout? Of course not.

The problem here, if you ask me, is will the NFLPA involvement swing the arbitrator against us? From the evidence that's been revealed (which of course could be BS), it looks like LA's agent screwed up and is responsible for not checking the contract (they weren't 'forced' to sign) before signature. If the NFLPA and LA's agent can bluster that the FO tricked LA et al, will the arbitrator ignore the 'buyer beware' maxim and decide we acted unfairly?

I truly hope common sense will out in this case, and the agents get it in the neck. It's about time they were called to task. They earn a lot of money off the back of other peoples achievements and seem to have very little responsibility in these issues.
