Teammates generally side with the players when it comes to trying to get paid what they think they are worth. But in this case there was still 3 years left on the deal. My bet is that a lot of teammates did not support that. If players started doing that then half of the roster would be trying to get a new deal every year.
Cam is not a guy trapped in a cheap rookie contract. He agreed to a 4 year $28 million contract in 2014. If he thinks he is underpaid then he has no one to blame but himself for taking that deal.
Teammates probably would not even mind if he whined and complained about being underpaid, but when they start losing because a guy under contract is refusing to play it becomes a problem. Chancellor was supposed to be a big locker room leader. I bet he returned because there were grumblings that he was losing support among his teammates.
