You realize he is guarenteed a certain amount of money on that contract right? If he played opening day got injured and never played again, he'd get what was guareenteed to him. He's got 5 years left on a contract he renegeotiated 3 years ago. I read he is guarenteed 25%, which isn't good, but when you let your uncle act as your agent, that shit happens.

I agree with the players when it comes to most labour disputes, because the players aren't being giving guarenteed money with guarenteed contracts, and in the NFL players need to make as much as fast as they can, being the sport it is. But this has nothing to do with it at all, it's about someone not wanting to pay an agent, letting his uncle negeotiate his contract, and then three years later being unhappy with it because the market has changed. Grow up, and man up, and do your fucking job.
