Umm, it wasn't a matter of not being able to give Clinton a raise. Clinton came to Mike Shanahan and flat out told him either make me the highest paid running back in football or I'll consider holding out. The Broncos told him they'd give him a raise if he'd add more years to his contract. He and his agent said no, and that was the end of it.
