Seriously fuck that guy. He's too stupid to realize that no one is going to give a safety that is approaching 30 big money on a LTD. He's being a selfish asshole and just should have stayed home. Don't play football if you're so worried about getting hurt. You're still going to make millions while you're rehabbing, it's what you singed up for under the current set of rules. If I were Seattle I'd make an example of him and cut him today.

The contracts always go up, so the next big guy will get paid more than what you got a few years ago. The contract is fair until you don't think its fair? He should've held out or not signed a 4 year deal. So sick and tired of people being "owed" something. No one owes you a fucking thing. Your contract is your contract until it expires.

Ben and Eli both appear to be on their last legs, Eli has No line and Ben has no run game (lol) but the end of an era is near for NY and Pitt

You might be right.

How is Dallas on SNF again? wtf, they are so boring to watch. I hope Houston rolls them

Outside of the Rams.......who is the NFL elite? I see a lot of teams who are solid, not great... the opportunity to make a move is there

Before people bitch and whine about Earl Thomas and LeVeon Bell, realize that the NFL doesn't reward good player performance for certain positions. Sure, the NFL will overpay a good player like Cousins, but then they will refuse to pay the best RB in the league (Bell) and a top safety like Thomas, but then they'll refuse to trade them as well. Hell, look at Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald, two of the best players at a premium position, and they had to fight tooth and nail to get better deals.

It's funny people say, "play your damn contract" or "just shut up and play, you are getting paid." But no one complaints when NFL teams cut players and don't honor their contracts; specially when teams cut players after the free agency period (see Dez Bryant).

And none of this is going to happen until the NFLPA does something about it. They are so hung up on non-issues like player discipline, in the next CBA they should find a way to do something about it.

Cousins isn't overpaid because he plays a position that demands his salary. The Jets offered him MORE than the Vikings. Think about that. He's taking less to play for the Vikings. If Thomas hits the open market he'll get a contract but it won't be a long term deal, it will probably be a short one for less that he's making now. He's never going to make more than he is now, whether he got hurt or not. Safety is like playing running back, it's a disposable position and he's almost 30.


One more thing. Thomas is under contract that I believe paid him 26 million or something like that. Seattle doesn't have to resign him if they don't want to. He can just play it out and be a FA. Different story for Bell, he would be playing on one year deals. Thomas is an asshole. Seattle has paid him a ton of dough and he showed ultimate disrespect.

He signed a contract and will be paid in full. And you're right, the NFLPA needs to work on the guaranteed money in next CBA. But you're never going to get a contract that says if you play well prior to the last year of the contract the team has to offer you another huge contract before the season starts. Under the current rules that their union agreed to, Seattle has done nothing wrong. And acting like a whiny bitch isn't going to help your cause (most times).

Can you imagine flipping off your bosses after they've made you one of the highest paid at your position, paying you 26 million over the last three years? That is just wrong on so many levels.
