If anyone is extremely deserving of a raise, its this kid.

Whats the point of contracts anymore? Why not just pay players purely off incentives?
Everyone who has a good season thinking about holding out is getting a little sickening.

I don't like holdouts either, but damn... think if you were in his situation, 3 more years at 560k or instant millions with a little bad fan rep. I know I'd be gettin' paid!

I agree with the incentives thing, but that would give the lesser competitive/popular teams zero shot of landing a big free agent. The only way they can attract players is with bigger contracts.

Dude is averaging like 2,000 yards from scrimmage a year. Better make him happy early on.

I can understand Chris Johnson holding out, especially with the short career expectancy of RBs, I was just using this as an example of my general frustration with many players who have a good season threatening to hold out.

Poor guy needs a raise... 560k a year ain't gonna pay for all this... (yes, that's his car)

I think most of us agree too. CJ2K may just be an exception. He is to me for some reason.
