PFT:Report: Tim Tebow wants more than Dez Bryant

[tyke1doe]

Whether people like Tebow or not...this is not something new. This has happened in the past where most Agents get a tad more for QBs than other positions.

Thank you for being objective.

Isn't lust supposed to be in there somewhere?

Lust isn't a sin. :laugh1:

Those deadly sins are crap. Discouragement? I discourage my son to take drugs and I commit a deadly sin? Pride? Sorry, but that is essential to becoming an upstanding productive member of society. If you don't have pride in yourself, I would say you are more likley to fall victem to the real deadly sins. Having pride in yourself is one of the best things you can teach your children. Extravagance? Okay thats fine but it's basically the same thing as gluttony.

Somehow, I don't think you're interpreting the words according to their more traditional negative connotation.

Pride is a self-absorbed focus on one's self to the exclusion to the needs of others. It does not mean thinking so lowly of yourself that you believe you have no worth. That's contrary to the Bible and David's admonition "I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works, oh Lord." Unfortunately, there's really not a good word in the English language to describe a sense of self worth outside of the misapplication of the word "pride." That's why people get the two concepts mixed up.

As for extravagance, that word has to do more with lifestyle; gluttony is more specific to food.

Wrath. Example is anger not a sin, for a person to show anger it is natural for a person to be angry but when the anger consume the person and affects the person’s life and those around him then it becomes a Cardinal Sins or as some call it one of the 7 deadly sins

Report: Tim Tebow wants more than Dez Bryant
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 28, 2010 4:23 PM ET
The Dallas Cowboys selected Dez Bryant with the 24th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and the Denver Broncos selected Tim Tebow 25th. Ordinarily, that would mean Tebow should get paid a little bit less than Bryant.

But Tebow apparently wants more money than Bryant, and that's why he wasn't there when the Broncos' rookies reported to training camp today.

Ed Werder of ESPN reported on NFL Live that the holdup on Tebow's contract is the request from agent Jimmy Sexton that a premium be paid to Tebow because he's a quarterback. Sexton wants Tebow to get a bigger signing bonus, higher base salaries and more money overall than Bryant is getting from the Cowboys.

Werder reported that Tebow and the Broncos are close to getting the deal done, but in the mean time, coach Josh McDaniels has called Tebow and expressed disappointment that Tebow didn't report with the rest of the rookies.

"You're missing time and you can't afford to miss it," McDaniels told Tebow, according to Werder. "You're not going to get these snaps back."

So much for the angel. Tebow knows this is his only payday so he wants to max it out.

Tebow holding out

Locker room cancer.

They better get rid of him.

Trade him to us for a secound rounder.

We'll package him to the Commanders for two #1's.

Maybe we should consider Dez's actions in this story. He signed early, came to camp and is working his tail off. He's actually doing something. Tebow is simply looking after himself, and I suspect that his agent wants more coin in any potential deal. I'm just happy for Cowboy's fans. Bronco's fans will just have to wait Tim to show how perfect he is. He doesn't have a ton of leverage at this point. Let's see how it plays out.

Tebow has reportedly informed Denver that he walks on water and should be compensated for it.

I admit I :laugh2:ed

His incentives are high but the actual contract doesn't appear to be much different that Dez's.

Here's a link to the following excerpt.

http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/07/22/d...-with-cowboys/

"...Thursday and will be in camp when it opens this weekend. Bryant's is a five-year, $11.8 million contract that includes $8.5 million in guarantees."

Here's a link to a story about Tebow's deal.

http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/stor...e=HP_headlines

"...Tebow signed a five-year deal worth $11.25 million Thursday, with $8.7 million of that guaranteed. He could earn up to $33 million over the life of the contract if he ascends to the top of the quarterback chart."

Interesting bit of info about Bradford's negotiations.

http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/07/22/d...-with-cowboys/

"Negotiations continue between the St. Louis Rams and No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford, who's looking for a deal that guarantees him close to $50 million. That deal is expected to get done before training camp starts,"

so much for just loving to play the game

Third-round pick Colt McCoy agreed to a four-year deal Thursday worth up to $5 million, according to a league source; $1.07 million is guaranteed, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The normal slot is approximately $3.275 million. But McCoy got the "quarterback premium," which shows the faith Cleveland has in McCoy as its long-term solution at quarterback.
