Brady Quinn is only screwing himself! He may be holding out for a bigger contract because he wants top 10 money, but he's also not going to start as he probably would've been if he was in camp on time.

Training camp is essential for young players, as they don't get the reps during the season.

Quinn should probably get paid like the 15th player taken in the draft so that would be meeting somewhere in the middle, but when it comes down to it he is missing out on valuable experience that is worth millions to a rookie. His contract will have triggers in it so he can meet certain levels and get his bonus, such as number of starts. This season because of the holdout he won't reach this trigger.

You have to put some of the blame on the damn agent, but in the end it is the players fault, because the agent is working for the player and the player needs to take some responsibility.
