I'm not a big fan of player hold outs, however, I was just listening to a lot of the people he is holding out. The Roster:

T.O.
Santana Moss
Sean Taylor
Edge
Shaun Alexander
Rueben Droughns
Javon Walker
Anquan Boldin

Of them Santana Moss is awaiting a new deal. I could understand that. T.O. doesn't think that making 750k in the third year of his deal is fair...it isn't. Sean Taylor has no leg to stand on, in my book. Edge wants a long term deal or wants to be traded...that's kinda pushing it. Shaun Alexander wants the same. Rueben had one year with the Broncos, the other 4 years of his career he never even broke 100 yards. One year, from out of nowhere doesn't warrant a new deal. He's gonna make 950k this year, if he does it again, then I could understand it. Now, Javon Walker and Anquan Boldin each have a legitimate beef. Boldin has been one of the better wide outs in the league in his first two years and showed a lot of heart last year. He deserves more than 350k this season. Walker is only slated to make 550k next year, 500k this year. He went for 1400 yards last year. He deserves more, too.

Consider the fact that if Javon Walker plays like one of the best WRs in the league the next 2 season and his career is ended and he never renegotiates he'll make slightly more than 1.5 million dollars for his efforts. That's unreal. They should re-do his deal. They should tweak T.O.'s deal, not rip it up and start all over. Boldin deserves a new deal, too.

Nothing is guaranteed to the players in the NFL. It should be able to go both ways. I can see where the players are coming from on this one.
