This contract related?
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Gdale_Bengal - 12-11-2022
It’s called the money down and the shit stains were converting several of them
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Whacked - 12-11-2022
Random…
Pratt is a beast. Really like this guy.

Probably, but that's fine by me. Let him earn his payday on the way to a title.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Go Cards - 12-12-2022
Really hope him and Wilson are in stripes for years to come.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - lostpoet2 - 12-12-2022
This is his contract season, but it’s an unfortunate tweet, as this is the first time I recall a player on the current roster complaining about playing time. He’s apparently not happy that ADG replaces him in some packages.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - pally - 12-12-2022
He played 81% of the defensive snaps yesterday vs Wilson's 97%. Wilson, of course, wears the green dot

They are trusting Pratt to cover TEs more than Flowers
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - pally - 12-12-2022
Pratt removed reference to Bengals from his social media. Somebody's agent is in his ear. His playing time hasn't changed so its kind of weird

ADG played 5 snaps vs Cleveland. I think Flowers had 11. Pratt played 58 of 72. Davis had 4 when Hilton was gimpy. Dax Hill played 1. Bailey had zero defensive snaps.
Pratt comes out a lot when we go dime, usually in favor of Flowers. Wilson then is the only true LB in those sets.
Frankly, I thought we'd see more 3 saftety/1 LB sets. Bell, Bates & Hill with 3 corners, Wilson, and the front 4. Dime has usually been 4 corners with Flowers. Or 3 rushers with ADG.

Not a good sign.
He's playing great. Hopefully this is a blip.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Garrus - 12-12-2022
Kind of odd timing to do this. Maybe because he is coming off 2 nice games, and just letting the FO know what's up. Either way, still think it's weird timing.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - leonardfan40 - 12-12-2022
A good player on our team wants to play more than 81% of snaps? Oh no, how terrible
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - JumboTron - 12-12-2022
To anyone that's played football on the defensive side 3rd down has always been known as the "Money Down".
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Rubekahn29 - 12-12-2022
I’m sure he knows his price tag is going up and wants to increase it. As long as it doesn’t affect his play on the field, it’s not a huge deal. He did play the most 3rd downs in this game vs any other game, so sort of weird.
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Nicomo Cosca - 12-12-2022
For the record Lou is fine with it.
Since there’s been some question about Germaine Pratt wanting to play third downs and his tweet from last night, I asked Lou Anarumo about those conversations with Pratt and why he doesn’t play third downs.

If looking for an issue, you won’t find one with Pratt’s DC. pic.twitter.com/Gn6YpAzgdZ
RE: Pratt 3rd Downs - Soonerpeace - 12-12-2022
And perfect response from Lou. This teams culture of the team comes first has been excellent. I’m sure some guys said something to him. The second contract is just so important and I’m sure his agent has been coaching him.

Yep. Eyes on the prize.

This explanation of yours and Gdale_Bengals makes the most sense to me. I don't know the context of the tweet, but I wouldn't of thought it was contract related until I saw some other posters coming up with that interpretation.

He’s stirring the pot.Don’t need this right now.Just focus on playing and making a fun in the playoffs.He wants a huge contract,upcoming.Padding his stats equals bigger contract.But now is not the time or place.
His agent may have encouraged this.Hope we can keep him around.He is a good LB.
