I don't think he understands that his rookie contract wasn't based on his talent.
As such, he shouldn't be trying to match it now.
I have no problem with anybody - especially athletes who know they will have a short career - trying to maximize their earnings. We have no idea if it's greed, if it's just a sense of worth and wanting to be paid commensurately, if Sam or anybody else has plans for charity with most of it, or if Sam just doesn't want the owners to get away with paying what is actually a relatively low percentage of revenues for the actual product we watch, while the players suffer physically.
Besides, does Sam have any particular reason to WANT to play in Philly except the money?
