Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobby Roberts" data-source="post: 11792" data-attributes="member: 260">Actually when Grady was cut, a number of teams put claims on him.  Luckily it happened during a losing streak for GB, so they had the worst record of the teams trying to get him.Not having Grady on the field is a major loss.  I was at the Chicago game last year when Lee was the starting NT because Grady was hurt.  Everytime Lee came off the field, Grady was right there coaching him.  We've got a lot of good, young talent at DT, but these guys need a leader like Grady.That being said, there's no way that GB should give into his demands.  Make him sit and fine him.  He will not get paid until he shows up.  It's not the ideal situation, but giving into Javon or Grady only creates an opportunity for any other player to hold out for a new contract.I don't blame these players or their agent for going after bigger contracts.  Javon is majorly underpaid for his performance.  Grady has played as well as other similar NTs getting more money.  Holding out is the only card these players have for a new contract.  On the flip side, the team can cut them any day and have to pay another cent of their contract.  Non-guarenteed contracts lead to a greater likelihood that a player will holdout.</blockquote>
