Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[rjs246]

That's it. Spread that shtein around. Convince other players that they're unhappy too. Yes yes, this is the misery that we all want to wallow in.

I honestly can't help but take his side when reading that.

"It's not about the money"

That's hilarious

like i said chickens coming home to roost for this administration

hopefully this comes to a head somewhere down the line and banner inc eventually gets sick of it sell the franchise to someone from philly and move the farg back to boston

You think Bill Cosby has a billion dollars sitting around, waiting for a rainy day?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He would put on his sweater, bring Sheldon into his office, and explain to him the value of a dollar earned.  Only problem is that he might call him "Theo" a couple of times by accident.

coz gamble/huff and stephen starr pool their piggy banks

Stephen Starr is a massive douche and would probably nickel and dime these guys even worse.

But the refreshments would improve.

the bottom line is they need to scrap this policy.  it was decent when you actually had to maneuver the cap, but even then it had risk because if you extended a bum (reggie brown) you're stuck with a player and a big contract you don't want.

they need to draft players, let them play their rookie contacts until 1 or 2 years left and then extend them if they are worthy.  stop trying to outsmart everybody.  the negative outweighs the positive.

What exactly has Sheldon Brown done to deserve a revised contract?

What exactly has Sheldon Brown done to deserve a revised contract? 

Apparently all he really did was not suck and stay with the team long enough for inflation to make his contract look less than it really is.
When all is said in done he'll still get his 30 million over 6 years. Just because one years base salary is lower than others doesn't mean he's getting paid any less.


However, Joe Banner is a farging funholebucket and needs to stop jewing around all these players. You can afford to throw an extra 5 mil at him...so throw an extra 5 mil at him.

brian baldinger who i respect as much as anyone when it comes to scouting football and who knows more and watches more film than all of us put together said on wip a little while ago that sheldon is a top 10 corner in the nfl

one thing you have to remember is that while sheldon isnt deion sanders the quality of corners in the league right now is at a very low level...regardless sheldon is a top ten or close to top ten corner but is about 40-45th as far as where he is being paid

[shorebird]

I'm friggen' sick of players crying for long term deals because they want security for their families, and then pissing and moaning that they aren't making enough after the contract they signed becomes outdated compared to other players at their position. Farg 'em.

[SunMo]

yeah, farg those players...go billionaires!
