PFT: Fins gave Jake Long a deadline...and expects him to take less money

[LittleBoyBlue]

I don't think this will work. Long isn't going to agree for less money, if for no other reason, his agent won't agree because it will hurt his rep down the line; no top players will deal with the agent in the future for caving.

And if BP did get his way, every other 10-ten pick's agent will point at last year's draft slot and use that for leverage, rather than what the 1st pick gets. All this will mean is that the top of the draft players hold out for camp, likely to receive the same contracts they would have anyway.

Houston tried this a couple of years ago. Made absolutely no difference.

Agreed. Why should they? Because its Bill?

It is what it is BP........enjoy it.

That and they have not earned it is another issue the players that have produced should be getting big contracts not rookies who may do nothing in the league
