Good for him. Get your money while you can in a very shortened profession. Owners make money hand over fist and no one has any issue. Fans applaud owners for wanting to try and get a player to take a paycut. Yet fans berate and trash players for trying to hold out for more money. No one actually cares about the players being human and having their own lives. They just want to see their team win and want everyone to play at the cheapest salary possible.
I am not going to pretend I care about their lives but I also would never berate a player for holding out. Especially in the NFL. I really hope the NFLPA can outlast the owners the next time the CBA expires. These owners and how the league is set up for the players is terrible. But the NFLPA has to be one of the weakest unions I have ever seen. They caved in 2011 to the owners and the only thing they got was less practice team. And they hired back the same people who got them in this situation.
