Chase not Practicing

And then when someone is due and they reset the market all of the others hold out and want to redo their deal.   I think these teams need to start looking into holding these guys accountable. Put stipulations in their contracts that if they hold out for new deals while under a current deal they forfeit so much per day.  This has got to stop.

I agree that it's hard to even think about all these players holding out for more money and whatever, but you also have to think about it from their perspective:

-they're playing a violent game. One hit or even just landing wrong could end their career.
-in most cases, this money has to last them the rest of their lives.
-after taxes, agent fees, and other fees and expenses, the they only take home 40 to 50% of what they make.
-the owners make a lot of money off of them.

There's other variables but I'm just saying that, when you have owners that are that rich and are likely to get even richer after Chase helped them to a Super Bowl, AFC Championship game, and likely a lot more accomplishments like that, I can understand Chase wanting his piece of the pie.

I say all this in thinking that Chase isn't dramatic and won't pull AB or Ocho-like antics, but we'll see.
