Sometimes these young men get caught up in the “need to be highest paid” and forget about the tortoise and the hare.
I think Antonio brown/ leveon bell are prime examples of the hare and Larry fitz/Brady/Matt ryan/Philip rivers are the tortoise. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race.
Other examples of hares are Josh Norman with the panthers. Or Albert hansworth with the titans.
Yes, it isn't offensive to not be paid more than any other player at your position. Sure as hell shouldn't be especially when your
play on the field shows you need to get much more consistent in your good play and limit your bad play much more. Bates is not
a top tackling Safety, that is where the difference is. Players need to understand how good they have played and how much that
equates into what they are paid and not just listen to their agents who are liar liars....
I hate entitlement, it will be the down fall of most young people.
I don't want anything I haven't earned.
