McKenzie not attending condtitoning program

[Zero2Cool]

Cornerback Mike McKenzie is the lone Saints player not attending the club's offseason conditioning program without an excuse. The program is voluntary, but players are expected to participate unless they are injured or competing in NFL Europe. McKenzie is believed to be boycotting at the request of his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who is seeking a new long-term contract for the veteran. McKenzie is scheduled to earn $3.4 million in base salary this season. The Saints expect McKenzie to report for the start of coaching sessions in May.

All for the "love of the game". So sick of this kind of crap just because of the money.

I can't believe these athletes actually 'hold-out' ever. take the NHL that kind of crap jus irritates me as comes off to me as selfish.

 

[Rhino58]

Yeah. I heard this on the news. What a jerk.

 

[arrowgargantuan]

im sure this is not a surprise to the saints...he signed on with the intent to have his contract reworked this season. is this a surprise to anybody else?

 

[Rhino58]

No, it's not really that surprising to me. Thats just the way Mike is, I guess.
