Lmao nothing nuanced about it. You sign a deal you honor it. He would be better off saying ok he is just going to play out his one year, have a hell of a year, and leave as a free agent. That’s called betting on yourself.
Because two parties sign those contracts and when this topic comes up it’s always about one party “respecting the contract”.
That’s called bad business in an industry when you have 10-12 years to maximize your career income.
Did the Seahawks respect Bobby Wagner’s contract they committed to?
He was set to make 20 million dollars in 2022 and he will make around 5 million dollars. This reply isn’t intellectually honest. The Seahawks like most NFL teams decided that they didn’t have to honor all of the years and money they promised. NFL teams regularly tear up contracts when it’s convenient for them.
“How it works” in the NFL is that the game is rigged in favor of the owners and the players are expendable. That’s why you generally don’t see hold outs anymore in pro sports outside of the NFL. A player needs to exercise leverage when it’s provided because they know damn well that these owners wouldn’t honor the contracts they sign.
You don’t even realize that you’ve established my side of the argument. The contract itself is a slanted contract. In signing it, we all concur that the intent is owners to protect themselves. They don’t have to pay when a player outplays the terms and if the player falls short they get cut. The only factor in the dynamic to protect the player is the cap and the concept of dead money. Your response here reeks of Marie Antoinette’s let them eat cake (just negotiate a better system).
Bingo, but you aren’t going to sway people that don’t care about their name. Mine means something to me and I’m not not going to feel sorry for these guys just because they experience some of the things that all at will employees do.
But you’re from a generation that has an entirely different mind set. No one cares if you “feel sorry” for anybody. Just shut your mouth when it comes to another man’s money and his ability to use his leverage to maximize his income. That’s it.
Fuck you telling me what to do, now THAT is it. Fn millinial pussies.
I’m Gen X. I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate real talk. I just take issue with the generation that introduced the world to 50% of all marriages ending in divorce preaching to people about the integrity of their word and the sanctity of a contract.
I’m the youngest of the boomers, but I’m never going to stand down to anyone that thinks they can tell me to shut my mouth, about anything. You appear to have reached the age where you think you can generalize about people, that won’t serve you well when you run into someone like me. Good luck thinking you know everyrhing about people,
