These self-absorbed pricks don't know how good they have it. Last year I noted that CIN/DALL/SanFran were the teams that had holdouts. All three teams under-achieved, b/c they weren't ready for the season.
1) DALL Def End Parsons wants an extension.
...If I was Jerry Jones, I'd get Parsons and Prescott in a room.
...JERRY: "Parsons, we're running a team here. And we didn't do so well last year. We operate under a salary cap. If you can convince Dak to cut some of his salary, I can give you a boost. If not, gonna have to let you go."
2) CIN DE Hendrickson threatening to holdout.
...Same thing, GM should get Hendrickson and Burrow in a room.
...GM: "Joe's willing to re-structure his deal. If Joe is willing to take a little less, we can give you a little more."
...Burrow's the only guy in the league who's mentioned taking less money. I'd give a little to Hendrickson. But I wouldn't give any to Chase, b/c I know that he'd just hold out again.
3) BUF QB Allen gets a new deal. $330Mill (w/ $250M guaranteed)!
...Guy is an excellent player. That said, did anyone get to the end of the season and say "Man, that Allen guy isn't compensated ENOUGH"?
...If Allen was a real team guy, he'd say "As a team, we have yet to reach our goal. I get paid plenty. By not re-upping, the team can build a stronger roster. I hold off for the fans."
Think about all the old-time players who played their balls off to give the current players an opportunity. These guys can play on their own. Nice job pricing out the average-guy fan.
