Sean Lee states it was his decision not to play

[Picksix]

Says he didn't want to "disrespect his teammates" by playing when he knew he couldn't go, just for the money. Forfeited $2 million. Says "the Jones family has been very generous to me."

I know it's easy to say he hasn't earned his contract because of all the injuries, but still, don't see that kind of character often enough.

 

[EST_1986]

I would have been out there in a full body cast for 2 million

 

[kevm3]

He knows Jerry will break him off some dough.

 

[CyberB0b]

He earned it this year. Ironic that he is this impactful in a dumpster fire of a season.

Good call Sean. You just gained a little respect in my book. Now stop being such a china doll and give us several great years of dominance.

 

[cowboys1981]

They paid him 2m to say that.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Sean Lee will be head coach of the Dallas Cowboys one day.

 

[JohnsKey19]

So all he had to do was start the game to earn the bonus? Better man than me.

Smart call !!!!! This game meant nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Props for what he said.

The extra $2 mil in cap-space will be appreciated.

No, he had to play a significant amount of snaps.

 

[noshame]

Now thats a RKG

 

[jwitten82]

That is dumb, you take all the money you can get in your nfl career.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Oh thanks. In that case, he probably is forced out of the game anyway before playing the needed # snaps.

 

[The Natural]

He's a stand up act. I know its easy to say for those of us who don't come in the ballpark of what these guys make but money isn't everything.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

A class act!

 

[TheCount]

They already have. His contract is pretty lucrative for a guy that they knew had some injury concerns.

 

[BARRYRAY]

Wow that was dumb like he is better on half a leg than what was playing.I must admit I skipped the second half to wash car and work second job.I made
$100 and got wifes car spiffed up.The Cowboys in their present badness are not watchable.Fire Garrett and trade Romo and draft a new qb.At least we would be young
and bad.I can see that and I am not an x and o's man.We are AWFUL..

 

[Gameover]

Shouldn't be any of our business

 

[LocimusPrime]

I like that attitude. Its in direct contrast with all the " look at me" and " its all bout da money, i need 50 mil to feed my family" playas.
