So you don't believe in raises? Teams will try to get the most out of a players and pay the least amount of money. Although they have to pay the guaranteed money, teams also break player contracts when they cut players.
I swear, it baffles me how much normal people can relate to and sympathize with millionaire owners. When a team cuts a player, everyone says "oh it's a business decision", but when a player asks for a raise, everyone piles up on the player.
I don't know much about Gore's or Johnson's situation. But Jackson has been a beast for the Eagles and deserves to be paid more.
