And in regards to the money part, why shouldn't they be paid handsomely? The money is there...it's the biggest money making machine in all of entertainment. If not the players, who should those dollars go to? And who are you to say how much money someone needs? Many of these players are earning money for not only themselves, but entire family trees present and future. They are worth exactly what someone will pay them and they'd be stupid not to maximize those earnings in the very short window they have to acquire that wealth.
If a player has made 9 figures and is on the tail end of their career I suppose I can understand taking a little less to stay somewhere they prefer, but thats a small number of guys in this league.

I'm speaking from actual experience you chode. I literally work with several former players and they all still train and lift and do athletic shit at high levels. They aren't the ****ing walking wounded.
Second, the whole "they are paying for their family family" blah blah, dude
. No family linage needs 100 million dollars to "get by". And second, all the players I talk to have been smart with their money and don't feel like their NFL careers were meant to setup their great grandkids for prosperity.
You're just repeating a bunch of nonsense most of you who just jerk off online to this stuff do. Stay in your lane and pipe down.
