We not me. Every game he misses the less and less I'll miss him, even if we struggle.
I think a lot of people feel that way but I don't think he will miss any games.
The players are gladiators competing for our entertainment. They deserve to get paid what they're worth. They're the ones putting everything on the line.
What if they want to get paid MORE than what they are worth. We don't know what the negotiations have been like and the offer or demand on each side.
Well like the real world says if you don't like the conditions your in go find another job. Without the owners there is no league and blaming owners and fans for sacrificing their health is their own doing no one is forcing them to do it.
Normally yes, but this is high dollar pay per year and short careers. And he isn't able to go to another team/job, he's under contract.
There is nothing special these owners bring to the table. If they all died today - the league would go on fine / they are all completely replaceable in every way. Even the stadiums (which they very rarely build on their own) are able to be rented out in alternative venues.
You're wrong, they would be replaced just like owners of teams on every sport get replaced. Think about how many NFL teams have had several owners over the years. Even our Rams.
Someone rich enough and greedy enough will always come along.
What price would you put on being able to play with and hold your kids/grandkids in your 40s/50s? What price would you put on being able to remember who and where you are in your 40s/50s? What price would you put on not suffering from depression in your 30s/40s/50s?
jrry each player who signs a contract for whatever amount puts THEIR price on that. And come on most players don't have issues holding kids and remembering who they are.
You sound like an atto........nevermind LOL.
If he's playing right now, the Rams have no reason to pay him. At the end of the day, he's earned a big deal.
They have already said they know he has outplayed the contract and they want to pay him. Playing or not playing probably doesn't really make a difference other than to voice displeasure on AD part.
He's under contract with the Rams for the next 2 years and they can franchise him for 3 years after that and still save money. Yes if they franchise him for 3 years the next 5 years would cost him less than if they signed him to a contract right now.
But if they are franchising him that means they WANT him on the roster, which means it makes more sense to get him under contract. Doing that now saves them money versus doing it two years from now when the cap is higher and deals are larger.
Hard to tell, the rumors could be true and AD's agent wants an opt out clause in which case I hope they never sign that deal and just franchise him for a couple years.
If that's true then the Rams would be wise to trade him because that is a 100% indicator he is going to leave because he wants to hit the market. Better to have some draft capital then AD for two years.
