It’s unfortunate what happened in training camp with AJ and Jonah Williams. Unexpected retirement of Clint boling. Concussion protocol for Cordy Glenn. This just threw our offensive line in disarray. But do I feel sorry for the fans?Yes.Players No. These guys are making mega millions. They are obligated, And should give this Team100% every week. Regardless of the situation. They need to shut up and man up and do their best.Some of these guys make more money on their signing bonus than some people make in a lifetime.
Yeah I really wish the NFL could somehow change it to base pay 250K and everything else is incentive based, with the largest being "win the game". Would never happen for multitude of reasons, but still, some of these players probably lose motivation because their performance isn't going to affect their retirement or lifestyle much. I think Julio's contract was 67 million and 65 of that was a signing bonus.
