You want me to answer for your interpretations of my posts- even other people's interpretations of them. This is the last time I'll do it.
I would "be shocked" in no way implies that I'm speaking for Tee Higgins. Likewise, I "expect players to be taking their jolly time recovering this year" is my expectation. I'm not saying it'll happen for sure or that you must agree with me if you don't want to- I couldn't f care less! You're arguing with me like I'm a f judge. I have no power in this ordeal. Neither do you.
As for, ""it's not that they don't care about football, it's just that they don't care about it as much as the bottom line"--- YES! Not only did I say that then, I'm still saying that now! That's the point, whether he ends up playing through the concussion or not. Good God... how old are you- 12? He's not your slave. They all play for the money- every last one of them. They're not the Dalai Lama or Nelson Mandela or some humanitarian doing it for some philanthropic cause- namely to feed your insatiable appetite for football. No. Their bottom line is 1 000 000 000/1 000 000 000, 100% of the time more "important" to them than the football. They're using football as a means to an end.
Which is not to say (I can't believe I have to spell this out too lol) that they don't care about football. I never said that. Far from it. It's not a binary choice. There is a lonnnnnnnnng way between the thing they care about most in this world, and those they don't care about at all. So don't imply that I'm saying they don't care about football. Nothing could further from the truth.
Finally, this here will be the > very > first > time > that > I > have > ever > typed > CORDY GLENN'S name on this website. You're drawing another link that I never made. I'm not going to answer for your associations to Cordy Glenn, how you've vilified him over the years or how you feel about him now. You guessed it- I seriously couldn't gaf. I'm talking about how across the league- across the industry!- players and agents exist as a partnership. The latter ensures that his client's current and future earnings are not only protected, but optimized. I would imagine that the player usually has the final word, but there is no question that the agent provides significant input throughout the year, especially when said player is knocked borderline unconscious. That's the job. To suggest that any player will come back from a concussion prematurely without at least discussing it with his reps- irrespective of medical clearance- is an absurd claim. It is juvenile. It is like saying a defendant will not consult with his lawyer prior to signing a plea agreement. Hogwash.
Once again, I have no say in the matter. Don't confuse me with the team doctor, the head coach or the commissioner of your FF league. I'm just expressing my opinion. If you don't like it, take a walk!!! Lol

Golladay went for 4/$72/$40guar after proving very little as a #1 with Doormat Detroit, and after he got injured no less. That was 2 years ago. Who knows what a player like him would go for now. Wideouts have never been more overpriced. There will be a lineup out the door for Higgins imo.
Honestly, unless he gets hurt, I see very few ways for his value to come down between now and FA, especially if the team keeps winning. It's ironic because he hasn't done much, but he also has nothing left to prove. If he doesn't put up gaudy numbers, they'll say it's because of Chase. They'll defend him as a career winner deserving his own shot in the spotlight. Long, athletic and so marketable.... he'll be paid a king's ransom...
Unless he gets hurt.
I just wanted to say that I agree with you for the most part TMS and I understand most all of your points.
Don't let a doctor get to you in OnceMore and such. He got to me too, but he knows a lot of things I do not.
I think in the end Tee will get a big pay day cause of his talent like you say.
I just hope he stays with us for a lesser price so we can keep the gang together instead of letting him go somewhere else.
