The difference is TO signed a 7 year deal last year with like 8 million in year one
Gates played the last 2 season for league minimum and now is not under contract. He is an ERFA and is trying to get a deal San Diego is refusing to negotiate with the player unless he signs a 1 year 380k contract. IMO thats not negotiating in good faith.
Well this is my point. I hate to see players have one good year and then want to be one of the highest paid at thier position. The point I was making with TO was at least he has proven what he could do on the field for a while now. Enouhg of TO. It's making me sick half a55 defending him.
While I'm the subject. Sometimes I hear fans say that it's not fair for the teams to be able to cut a player anytime they want and that is why some fans take the side of the player on some situations.
Sorry but I have no sympathy for any player. As far as I'm concern it's no difference than me and my job. My job isn't a guranteee. At any time I do not perform up to the task, they can fire me.
God has blessed them with what they have. If they was to lose there job most of them have thier degrees and can move on to somthing else. Degrees that was paid for because they were blessed with what they have. If I lose mine I'm screwed.
I hate the hear that they need a long term deal before the report becasue the could get hurt and end thirr career. Yeah!! I think I'll go into my job and tell them I need a raise becasue my job is dangerous and I could get hurt.
Sorry I just cant feel sorry for millionairs who had thier college paid for. I dont feel sorry for the ones who make the league minimum.
Why I say this is this. I wrote it like I have a job so I could make a point but I dont . I was fired 2 months ago for reasons unknown right now. Still dealing with that. But nothing pisses me off more than to wake up every morning and bust may a55 looking for jobs and then hear some player crying about millions. Let them explain to thier 3 year old why daddy cant take him somewhere becasue he's broke. Let them tell thier 3 yr old they can't come see daddy because his lights got turned off. Trust me. They will never have to do what I have done the past 2 months.
