[QUOTE="PackerTraxx, post: 12973, member: 146"] First of all, a basic fact of sports is you must be good enough to make the team. In the pros there is another dimension added, you must be good enough to make the team and warrant your pay. That is part of the contract and the players and agents know that full well. Not that much different than anyone else's job. Rottenlouse should have no beef with that either. What his does is pick out specific examples to back himself up. When in actuality the deals,over all, protect the players much more than the owners. Look at Hunt, Reynolds, KGB, Edwards, players who way underplayed their contracts but were kept around because the team could not afford to absorb the signing bonus. I would veture to say there are a lot more players overpaid than underpaid. Another thing Rottenlouse does is refuses to acknowledge signing bonuses. Like they are a birthright or something. As I said, Sharper and his agent knew full well the last year of his contract was solely for the purpose of being able to spread his signing bonus out so they could give him the huge one he wanted. Again protecting the player. [/QUOTE]
