I know I'm beating a dead horse a little bit over here with the Hightower/Collins contract talk but I'm quite surprised nothing has been done and it doesn't even seem like it's in the works. Maybe it is and we don't know (very possible) but I wonder what's going on? Hightower and Collins are two of the best LBs in the game. When they are both healthy...I'd put them somewhere in the 4-6 range. I don't know of how many that are better and more complete. They might even be better than that. Both are still young, SB champs, and have played out their rookie deals. They deserve to get paid.
I know we have alot of guys that need to get paid after the year....but those two should be taken care of first IMO. Butler has only really played in full one year. He needs to prove it again this year. Sheard as well. But I do reckon that those guys should also get extensions after the season.
I hate to say it but Chandler Jones came in with Hightower and I'm sure Collins is close with that bunch as well...his comments could have been echoed. Have to hope those two aren't bitter about it. I know that's purely speculation and negotiations could very well be going on behind closed doors but it is a little bit of a concern.
