While the whole "Contract Year Performance" has become a bit of a cliche, I still think there are certain types of people who simply will not give the same amount of effort once they hit their big pay day.
And I guy who a tattoo reading "Get Paid" might, maybe, kinda be one of those types of guys.

Not sure what you are saying in the above line but I suspect you don't have a favorable opinion of AS.
Do you know the real story behind his "Get Paid" tattoo or are you forming an opinion based on Jackie M's error-filled article on the BG two years back?
Speaking of trying to make you look bad, the media has had a field day with that tattoo of yours: "Get Paid."
Actually, they got it wrong. It says, "Get Rich To This." Gnarls Barkley came out with a song, "Get Rich To This." I take it to mean that whatever you're doing -- and it's not just about making money -- just get rich to this. You're doing your best. You're going all out. You want to succeed and do the best you're doing.
AS will be a Jet, and a pest for years to come. With Revis and Rhodes, they may have the best secondary in the NFL.
Edit: As long as they have David Barrett they won't.
Later......***ante!!!!!!!
Just saying Asante seems like the type of guy that might put things on cruise control after the Brinks truck gets backed up.
Way to make an assumption based on nothing. I really don't understand the attitude a lot of Patriots fans have towards Asante. He played his ass off here for a long time and now that he's a FA everyone going to rip on him. He's not any more likely to be the type of guy to put things on cruise control than anyone else. I highly doubt he would have lasted this long under BB if that were the case.
Wow, relax. It's Friday. If you can't acknowledge that through his actions and words Asante appears more motivated by money than most NFL players, there really is nothing to talk about.
Thanks for your wonderful contribution to the topic. Your going to miss him next year when Hobbs is the #1 CB though. You think theres *****ing about Hobbs now, wait until he's the main guy. I like Hobbs a lot but I think we are very weak at CB with him as the main guy.
I guess we don't then because I don't see him as being much different from most players who want a big contract. Seymour did this before as well. He got a tattoo in college and this is supposedly an indication of how he is motivated as a pro?
He's a great CB and deserves a big payday. This will probably be his one big contract of his career and I don't know why its a big deal that he wants to make as much as possible. I know most of us here wouldn't leave our current jobs for a higher paying job right?
I do not recall a Patriot whose desire for a big payday and raise was discussed more than Asante. I mean, it's been years that this has been going on. Maybe Ty Law? I won't be happy to see Asante go, but I'm pretty sick of the whole conversation. It feels like a girlfriend who keeps subtly threatening to leave if she can find someone better. Well, I love you, but maybe you should leave.
I love Washington's game and attitude. I hope he's re-signed.

We will be okay without Asante. Yes, he had some good years in the Pats system. However, he is not a "shut-down" corner like Bailey, D. Sanders, Law, etc.
"Right now, we have our target and we're waiting on the 29th to kick in," Shavers said.
This is the team that let Ty fringing Law & Lawyer Milloy go. Asante in his prime would not be able to hold Ty's jock strap.
