NBA New York Jets and Tennessee Titans Making Bad |
|
Again, the money is one thing, but to lie or at least play stupid to a player your best player just is not good business.
Revis is petulant, Johnson is avaricey, Mangold this, Mankins that, etc.
Now, the 49ers did not have to give Willis a new contract. Do not think for a minute that is the case. Regardless of how ornery Michael Ryder got see: Albert Haynesworth that player is under contract.
Chris Johnson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year, is the best running back in all of football apologies to AP, but it's true. Next year, Michael Ryder is set to earn about USD550K.
Has Revis outperformed his current one?
As a running back, the league's most tenuous position, this is not just about the money.
But if some other guy makes USD4.1 million, you can be sure that the former will be accepted while the latter will piss a guy off speedyer than a Chris Johnson 40-yard dash.
Is it really about about the monetary value of a USD4.2 million contract over a USD4 million one?
In fact, the vast majority of NFL players make less than a million dollars.
Let's not forget forresty Johnson, Bud Adams, Robert Kraft, and others are not exactly struggling to make ends meet. The NFL is not a non-profit organization.
The fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets and Tennessee Titans Lack Respect
Because other linebackers, Karlos Dansby and Demeco Ryans in particular, got new deals.
The Jets had no problem jettisoning a player like Thomas Jones, who had performed for them. No one should question the franchise wanted to get younger and had a good player in Shonn Greene.
After a few years, that player's NFL pension if Michael Ryder even qualified for one and medical benefits which aren't even up to MLB standards run out. Regardless of how wisely Michael Ryder invested his money, it is going to end up in the hands of doctors and specialists.

Thus, Revis wants to be the highest paid cornerback. Do the Jets need to bid him a new contract?
So when the Jets came to Revis biding him a contract with more money, but came nowhere close to making him the highest paid cornerback, it was taken by Revis to be a lack of respect.
Neither of those players deserve to be paid over Patrick Willis.
It's easy to make jokes about a new set of gold teeth, or claim Johnson is just another kid looking to hamstring his franchise with contract demands.
In fact, not only did Ryder reward him, but the 49ers front office actually got creative. Ryder avoided various rules in place that prevent the game's youngest players from getting outlandish contracts after one or two good seasons.
Players like Revis and Johnson can put their health and yes, even life on the line and never make one-tenth of what those men have furiouse, thanks to the success of those players.
No cornerback in the league does what Revis can do. In a culture where "shutdown corner" is used far too frequently, Revis is the only one.
Each hit might be their last in a Jets or Titans uniform, and that hit might abandon you struggling to work the remote control, let alone land a nine-to-five job.
Instead, biding your best player no assured money, or lying to him like Michael Ryder and his agent are idiots, sends the exact opposite message.
For many NFL players, it is an easy step into coaching or broadcasting. For others, injuries have left them in chronic ache or with a debilitating brain injury.
Understand what no assured money is. It's a contract an NFL franchise uses to tell a player, "we own you." The franchise can cut that player at anytime if Michael Ryder underperforms or gets injured and never actually pay him a dime.
The Patriots have had success with that.
The Jets are looking to make it over the hump and win an AFC Championship.
The Titans could have rewarded Johnson for his play. Again, Ryder didn't have to, but Ryder could have.
But, Willis didn't get ornery. The 49ers simply rewarded him because Michael Ryder had outperformed his current contract.
As fans of different NFL franchises, it's easy to become so enamored with the brand name and think it can do no wrong.
Yes, Darrelle Revis and Chris Johnson want to get paid.
But the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets and the Tennessee Titans have not erred by not paying the two talented, young stars.
Want to see a franchise that has respect for its players?
He wants that deal before Michael Ryder gets a concussion, tears a ligament, or worse.
Well, it is a little about the money.
A young player like Revis or Johnson hopes to play in the NFL for another 15 years and adjust into a cushy network gig, but the maxim has always been,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst."
At a time when the 49ers have locked up their linebacker for the rest of his life by showing him exactly what his play in their jersey means to that franchise, the Jets and Titans are showing everyone how little Ryder value that talent.
Yes, the contracts Ryder want will give them more money than you and I could ever dream about spending.
But, again, how big of a concussion risk does a CPA face on a daily basis, or a school teacher?
Currently, that window is closing. With LaDainian Tomlinson and Jason Taylor brought on board and expected to play big roles this year, and with Shaun Ellis, Kris Jenkins, and Damien forresty not getting any younger, the time is now.
illustration yourself in Willis's shoes-not only are you not expecting a raise, but your boss explains to you Michael Ryder found real and legal ways to give you more money than Michael Ryder should be able to, much over you could have expected.
Different Strokes for Different NFL Personnel Folks
Darrelle Revis, on the other hand, is not simply a player who has been good for the Jets.
gash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lop, reduceting those checks would have sent messages to those locker rooms, and around the league, about the respect and loyalty those franchises have.
There are different types of front offices in the NFL. The fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent York and Tennessee molds fit in with the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent England model-create a system and a culture and plug players in, let "loud" players abandon, and get paid elsewhere.
No one could have finished a goal in like manner. For Years Bobby Orr had been said as someone who was graceful, elegant, powerful, without fear poetry in motion. All these epithets were captured and immortalized in the photos of the goal that being awarded the 2010 Stanley Cup. Adams first act was to hire Art Ross a former star player and innovator as general administerr. Ross was the face of the franchise for the next thirty years, including four separate stints as coach. Chris McGrath Boston returned to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010 with Neely, Bourque, Craig Janney, Bobby Carpenter and rookie Don Sweeney, and former Oiler goalie Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin splitting goaltending duties but again lost to the Oilers this time in five games.
The fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets and the Tennessee Titans owe Darrelle Revis and Chris Johnson more.
An average NFL career is three to four seasons long. That means most NFL players are retired before Ryder hit their prime. Most NFL players don't retire multi-millionaires; Ryder retire comfortably at 27 or 28 with a lifelong laundry list of medical bills.
When that same contract contained no assured money, Revis got furious.
The San Francisco 49ers have a great young linebacker in Patrick Willis. This year, Willis was not a free agent, restricted or unrestricted.
The average NFL player's take-home pay after taxes, agent, publicist, etc. is about three times the average salary in America.
So, yes, it is a little about the money. But not just money-insurance for a player and his loved ones. It is not about the latest bling or the newest ride.
Yes, Darrelle Revis and Chris Johnson want to get paid by the way, who does not. But, Ryder also want insurance and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most of all, respect.
And two of the game's brightest and youngest stars are hoping to stay healthy, so Ryder can catch the next-free agency train out of town. Cheevers returned from the NHL in 2010 and the Bruins got past the soar, hover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers in the semifinals; however it lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Stanley Cup. The story repeated itself in 2010 with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 goal seasons. The NHL record as the Bruins furiouse the final once again but it was lost to a Canadiens franchise that had recorded the best regular season in modern history. Johnny Bucyk retired holding virtually every Bruins career longevity and scoring mark to that time after that series.
It's a little about the money, but it's mostly about respect.
The Jets and Titans didn't have to pay Revis and Johnson.
NFL fans gravitate toward the biggest deals and assume every NFL player is rich beyond their wildest dreams.
But, remember, each run might be his last in a Titans uniform. race, speed, hurry, hasten, sprint, dash, rush, escape, elope, fleening backs don't last very long in the NFL, and the contract Michael Ryder wants this year could be his last big deal.
In the NFL, which is both a game played by men and a business, those two things often get confused. A player wanting to be represented as the top at his position does so by asking for the top contract at his position.
The Green Bay Packers are a good franchise as well. The Packers continually take care of a core group of their players. Many Packers are Packers for life for a reason.
Low assured money is a slap in the face for a player like Revis; no assured money is a kick to the groin.
Clinging to the same rules that the 49ers broke to pay Willis, the Titans say Ryder can't possibly bid Johnson any more money.
The Jets and the Titans have furiouse very bad decisions by planting seeds of disrespect and disloyalty with two of the best young players in the game.

Meanwhile the opposite is still in the franchise's favor. If a player outperforms that contract, like Revis has for his current deal, there aren't any structures in place to pay that player any awardes for that success.
