[QUOTE="EarthQuake, post: 226719, member: 938"] I really dont see any problem with this. He's not holding out or doing anything horrible like that. He's showing up for all of the team activities that they will let him do. He seems like a really smart guy(for nfl standards atleast) and is going about this the best way possible. Its understandable that he wants a better deal than the min. he was 2nd in rushing in the entire nfl for hte last half of the season, while a half of a season isnt much, i think that atleast deserves consideration for a slightly better than min contract. We all know that the average lifespan for running backs can be very short, so from his end it makes a lot of sense to try and negotiate for a better deal, they give him and offer and he countered, its not like he was already under contract and is now holding out or making threats or anything even remotely negative in my mind. Now having said all of that i think he may be hurting his longterm value by trying to get a better contract right now, i feel like if he plays another great season they will give him a very nice contract, and while i feel they will probabbly offer him something more than the min this seasons, it seems like he could potentially get less over the long term going this route. But all things considered this is a guy who spend all of 2006 on IR and didnt even play a down, he knows full well the advantages of getting paid while you're in good standings with a team and healthy.
