No one should blame him for getting every dollar that he can.  Taking a pay cut to win a championship is for guys 30+ who have already made huge piles of money, not 25 year olds who were 5th round picks.

That's the way I see it.   But I realize we are Bengals fans and in our minds anyone who leaves this speeding success train for any reason is an absolute fool at best, and a detestable enemy at worst.  

On a lighter note, I used to work for a baseball team (in a position where I had no power to change anything, mind you) and more than 0 people told me IF they were in charge they'd only pay players the league minimum to play there. See, that way you KNOW the guys on the team REALLY want to be there. Oy, everyone is a GM!
