If that's true, he's delusional about his abilities. You can't sit for years and expect to come in as a starter, particularly when his last years weren't all that great as it was.
Why would he voluntarily return to slavery?
As we go through the offseason where salaries and new contracts come up, the disparity in NFL salaries compared to other sports never ceases to amaze me. I know roster size has a big part of it, but its still so crazy.Just watched an episode of the IAMATHLETE podcast with Aaron Donald. One of the hosts was Lesean McCoy. Shady was a STUD at his peak. 2 time first team All Pro. 7 Pro Bowl seasons. All Decade team for the 2010s. Rushing yards leader, incredible 2 way RB. He made $60MM in a 12 year NFL career.Looking at the Bucks. George Hill has never made an All Star game. Steady but unspectacular guard, but his best seasons he wasn't even the best guard on his team, much less one of the tops in even his division. But through 12 seasons he made just over $90MM...Brook Lopez. Another good but not great player. Tons of empty stats on bad teams. 1 ASG but nobody is talking about him with the tops at his position...through 12 seasons he made double McCoy's career earnings.Mommas don't let your kids be football players, especially not RBs.
Is Aaron Donald really this dumb? He had no idea what he was talking about - to the point where he said it isn’t about money and it is about money in the same sentence.
I took it as "its not about money" in the sense that he doesn't need it. He's made $100MM so he's good. But at the same time, its about money from the respect/value angle. Aaron Rodgers doesn't need money but he has an infatuation with being paid the highest or amongst the very top.I mean, if you're willing to retire if not for a deal you think you deserve, its sort of beyond money at that point in terms of the actual impact on your life. But the money represents respect or stature.He's done everything there is to do. He has a ring, he has multiple DPOY, he's a surefire HOFer.
Man the Browns trade for Deshaun Watson is looking extremely questionable right now.
Only "right now"? This looked like a terrible decision from the start, beginning with alienating Mayfield
The Commanders' defensive team meetings are going to be interesting this season.

Almost every Browns' fan I know is EXTREMELY conflicted about the franchise right now.
