Sean Taylor's Contract

SKINS73 · 05-10-2005, 08:26 PM

I haven't been to the warpath for a while so I apologize if this has been discussed already...

Am I the only one that is irritated with players demanding their contract be renegotiated? So far this year you have Taylor, Ed Reed, Owens, Corey Dillon, the list goes on... Before they sign doesn't the player's association review the contract as well?

Thanks TAFKAS, it just burns me up when I hear terrel owens say, "i need to feed my family." I'm off my soap box now!

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-10-2005, 09:54 PM

SKINS73, yes, he does need to feed his family a steady diet of Escalades, plasma TVs and 23" rims.

mooby · 05-10-2005, 10:19 PM

exactly. i mean, who can feed their family on 49 million. it's unheard of of how little these players get paid. i want to see these guys get 100 million contracts, you know, while the rest of us middle class people live like so called kings

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-10-2005, 10:51 PM

Everyone knows my position on pro athletes, actors and the rest who get paid ludacrous amounts for doing their jobs.

The biggest waste of money I've ever seen is how Mystikal got the "dome" of his house coated in gold. Are you f-in kidding me?!

mooby · 05-10-2005, 11:17 PM

yeah that has to be one of the stupidest things ever done

I do think Sean Taylor has a bigger gripe than most. He got screwed on his rookie contract, why? So he wouldn't be a camp holdout! Let's help the man out and keep him happy.

I don't think you want to start redoing deals that are only a year old.No matter why they where signed.
I could see it next year if Taylor has a really great season. But you don't want to set a precedent. The next guy that has a greedy agent whispering in his ear will say it worked for Sean. Why not me? That's not a good thing for our Skins.

SkinsRock · 05-11-2005, 03:21 PM

Exactly! This is how I see it: Play under the deal that you signed....for at least a couple years. Bad deal or not, it is a SIGNED contract, isn't it? After two (or three) quality years, then talk about wanting a new one.
From what I've read, it seems that it is an heavily incentive laden contract, so if he plays as well as most of us think he will, he will make those incentives and his contract won't be so "bad".

I don't follow. How did he get screwed? If anything, his agents (former agents-Mato and Moorad) screwed him but that's not the responsibility of the Redskins to make up for any errors the agents made

Riggo44 · 05-11-2005, 03:54 PM

No kidding! Can't you just see Snyder calling Taylor to let him know that he's not getting the best deal he could.

If you and your fancy million dallor agent sign the contract. Then you only have your self to blame.
Suck it up Sean!!!!!!

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-11-2005, 03:55 PM

Exactly what I was going to say. Maybe that will teach him to pick a better agent. We can't set this precedent, ESPECIALLY with Rosenhaus.

Daseal · 05-11-2005, 04:07 PM

Not saying it's the Redskins fault. Compare his salary to other top 10s that year.

Isnt Sean Being Paid Among The Highest For Safeties?
This Is All Ridiculous.
