They really need to address 'holdouts' in the new CBA.

I'm so tired of these guys holding out of camp to get a few more mills. I understand getting what you think you've earned, but you should at least wait a few years before holding out again. Darrelle Revis did this like 2 years ago. Seriously dude, honor your god damn contract. I think the NFL needs to do what the NBA does and just guarentee a big chunk of the contracts in the first place so guys aren't holding out to get guarenteed money. The Teams are just as wrong as the players.

I think holdouts are lame, but I completely understand it. Take a look at Dumervil.. just got injured and may be out for a season. You just never know when that can happen and then that fast you're out of a job. Get what you can while you can.

I'll support players who hold out when they start giving back money they don't earn due to poor performance or injury. Until then they should play out their contract or go get a job doing something that pays better.

Revis is honoring his contract.

The contracts do not say "Thou shalt play football". They say "If you decide to participate in professional football, you agree to play only for Team X". Any other way and players would never be able to retire unless their contract was up etc.

exactly holdouts i have no problem with, kpowers said look at elvis he just got paid and got hurt the other day.on the other side of that is tdavis he didnt get paid and might not bc he is hurt.the rookies need a pay scale, and if a team will cut you at any time why not hold out until you get your money.

I saw that deal and was like "Great job, St. Louis... Way to screw it up for everyone else..."

At this rate, there really WON'T be any football next year... Spending is out of control...

it's taking all the value of out the #1 overall pick when you have to pay so much for it. I just don't see how you can spend that much on a QB with a glass arm who has never played a down in the NFL. It's really no surprise why the Rams are bad year after year.

i personally think players who hold out should be suspended. their contract may not say certain things or whatever... but why the hell are guys playing in the NFL??? i always thought it was because of the game... the money will come, but getting that super bowl ring may never happen if you're spending all your time at home on the couch watching re-runs of the Young & the Restless, while you're hoping you'll get a better contract.

i thought Chris Johnson made the right moves by holding out during Spring OTA's and such... while not losing any valuable time with his teammates in training camp. Revis is just dumb. he had one year that was outstanding... then sits out of camp till a new contract is drawn up, while he's missing all that valuable time with his teammates... which loses continuity within the defense, which could cause their defense to suck this year. i mean, the littlest things can change the outcome down the road.

and as far as rookies are concerned. the most a rookie should earn in his first year in the NFL is 5 million guaranteed, plus incentives. and if he proves himself to be worth more than that, you adjust the contract as you go. the NFL is dumb with their money. just like how wall-street can be idiotic with their money sometimes.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
