Guys:
Can we stop with the "disgruntled receiver" nonsense?
I don't care how "disgruntled" the little weasel is. He is NOT going to pay the Patriots half a million dollars to sit out 10 games and play the second half of the season for free.
All he has done is find out that the Patriots had the market pegged to begin with: about $6 million a year. He can huff and puff all he wants. But, the little weasel has run out of options. Here's his choice:
a) Write a check to the Patriots for $500,000, sit out 10 games, and get franchised next spring.
b) Report to camp, play this season for $600,000 after fines, and get franchised next spring.
c) Sign an extension for the duration of his choosing for $6 million a year (the current average of the top-5 highest paid receivers in the NFL, pocket an eight-figure signing bonus, and start looking for another Super Bowl ring.
Now, I firmly believe the little weasel is dumber than a sack of flour, but even Forrest Gump could figure those choices out.
