It's Rosenhaus

Rosenhaus is Taylor and Moss's agent. He's obviously telling them to stay away from redskins park. He's doing the same thing with some of his GB packer clients.

This is clearly the new trend. Given the salary cap, players, even those under contract, can squeeze more cash out of tems by refusing to play. This threatens to kill a team's cap--you can't just release a malcontent; you take a big cap hit. Knowing this, agents advise their clients to stay away until they get what they want. TO, Portis, and others all cashed in on this. Ugh.

I hope the team respond with a new trend of telling these players: "tough noogies, baby, you're under contract." Otherwise, the floodgates have flung wide open for good.

The league must put a stop to this immediately or there is going to be big trouble in river city!

You are correct as this appears to be the latest manifesto of the "New breed of NFL superstar". Contracts mean nothing. Apparently, that "cancer", Drew is leading the pack. Just when you thought the NFL couldn't get any more tawdry or depraved! It's a Damn shame things are evolving like this. It makes me wonder what the hell could be next? I must say Andy Reid handled is the ONLY way possible "If they're here, ok, if not we move on!! Joe will take the same stance!

i defenitly hope so. drew rosenhaus is behind all this. he tells every unhappy client of his to holdout if they don't like their contract. you know what, there are other guys who would jump at the chance to play for a team. i hope the skins will just get some replacement players instead.

Don't hate the player hate the game. Tell them players tough noogies and then when Taylor's contract is up he's gone. They need to get rid of the cap. It gives freedom it brings back free market principles to the situation. You cant have it both ways. people always want it both ways. They have found a loophole in the cap now deal with it.. change the system or it will be exploited .. Cant have it both ways I say if you cant sign a player tough noogies then Danny boy will. lol

As if he wouldn't leave anyway for an extra buck!

What's the cap have to do with it? If anything getting rid of the cap could make matters worse, a player doesn't show up when he's under contract and knows the team has cap constraint's, what will they do if there's no constraint's? They will sit out even longer and more often because they know the fund's are unlimited.

I hope Snyder send's everyone who is under contract and deciedes to sit out a nice big plasma TV, let's see how far a genious like Taylor get's with 1 year's salary and a signing bonus, he probably already burned through most of it, I say you meet force with force it's the only thing these guy's understand!

2007 is an uncapped year from what I have heard, so does this mean that after that year, there is no more salary cap or does this mean that the salary cap will resume in 2008? I agree....this thing has gotten way out of control! The teams, in my opinion, appear to be getting handicapped from the salary cap AND the agents of these players. I guess signing a contract means zip nowadays!

Good point! It's time for the teams to start taking control of the situation and not the agents. Greed appears to be the name of the game....football is just secondary.

Man I would love to see the teams stand up to Rosenhaus and just not sign or draft his players for a while. This weasel and the ones like him(ie the Postons) have way too much control over the game. I think part of the reason is that the teams think the fans won't understand why they lost a star player. Personally I say let some other team over pay for some over-hyped player. The Skins have been doing it for far too long.
