The guy was offered 90 million 6 years and he feels unwanted... He's one of the best DT's in the league, obviously very under the radar since he plays in Buffalo which barely gets any attention. But where would you rank him between Watt, Suh, McCoy and himself?
He's 4th on that list. However, I'd take him over the other top interior defenders like Wilkerson without second thought. He's a really good player and I'm sure this is just posturing on his part. 6 years/$90m is pretty low offer for him in my opinion and he's sure to get more on the open market, just like Suh did. I'm sure the franchise tag is in play here, and without a QB to pay i don't think it's too far fetched to believe Buffalo wouldn't tag him 2 years in a row. That's important because the Mario Williams and Kyle Williiams are both coming close to the end of their careers.
Lol I wish I felt that unwanted. See this is the type of stuff that makes people think all athletes are ignorant and stupid.
I see the point you are trying to make, and he provably should have worded it differently, but if your market value is X and your current employee is y, can you fault him for saying what he did? Obviously to you or me, that is a lifetime of money, but if your employee wont pay you what other guys that do similar job as you do, how would you feel?
I have never worked under a contract, and I have also never worked in a situation where I could ever ask for a raise, however if I were working in a job where I was under contract, I would work that out and then move on if I felt like I could make more elsewhere.
But what if in that same scenario, you were worth much more at that very moment where you would be at your highest value, and you and your boss both knew it?
