His salary becomes just a new talking point. He had the same criticism on a Rookie contract.You cannot, in good faith, seriously think that his play on the field combined with this crappy attitude is not a concern.
You're using the same old "he's a 4th round pick that exceeded expectations" underdog BS that he's lived off of for 6 years now.
It's year 6 and he's the 3rd highest paid player ever! It's time to expect more!
I’m not sure we thought paying him more would increase his ability and talent level. That’s silly.
We all know paying these big contracts is a reward for what they have done not what we think they will do. We knew what we were paying for and still willingly ante’d up like no other team in the league would have.
