That's the rookie contract a chance to play for a bigger contract. He should honor his commitment.

When owners / GMs honor their commitment then so should athletes. He has a limited span to make a life changing amount of money, he's underpaid for the talent he is

I have a hard time being empathetic when the 1% holds out for more money. I get it. But I don't respect it. Especially with all the drama, not to mention attempted first degree murder on our star CB at the time.

Yep. Get your money OBJ

[KittyLover]

Why should they pay him when he hasn't shown he can act like an adult?  This is just another reason not to pay him. He has shown on numerous occasions he isn't a team player with the way he acts.

He's a great talent, but definitely a diva. In recent months his teammates, even Manning, have started dropping some hints that they want this guy to grow up already. This isn't the best start.

Their bosses are the .001% of society who have shoveled billions into their accounts under the auspices that the NFL is a not for profit filed organization. An NFL player has a very short shelf life, an NFL owner has decades of making billions. Whether you empathize with them or not it's a business.

In corporate America if a someone waa outperforming their contract, it's either renewed at market value or they are out finding a company that values what they bring to the table.

I don't like obj one iota but for a player of his caliber in the context of his pay bracket in the NFL he is vastly underpaid

I don't disagree with you and he deserves more based on his play alone. And he can "get his" when his contract expires. I would have less of an issue if he carried himself with a little more discipline and his character matched his on the field statistics.
