[QUOTE]Redskins FB Mike Sellers is [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/mike-sellers-unhappy-about-con.html"][B]unhappy and not participating[/B][/URL] in voluntary workouts. Seller made the Pro Bowl last year and doesn't feel he is getting paid what he deserves. [/QUOTE]

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Here we go.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

When he's able to consistently power it in from inside the 1 yd line and not fumble, then he can bitch about his contract. Until then STFU and play.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Well, like the article said - Sellers chose wrong time to be unhappy with his contract.. Otherwise, I understand Sellers' feelings, after all he made the pro bowl and cemented Portis' yardages.. He should be making more money, I guess..

Sign him to a year extension, give him more money and tell Zorn to be creative and use Sellers more often to make the money useful..

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Dime a dozen. Either you like it here or you don't. Peace. Yet another player I like alot but you signed the contract. If all we need is one yrd with out fumbling then give the rock to AH. LOL.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

C'mon really!! Sellers is good but he can't ask for CRAZY money because he is just a FB...we can always find a run blocking FB, plus sellers is in his mid 30's.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

I like Sellers but he needs to get over it and show up.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Do you have the time, To listen to me whine,
Can you hear me whining?
About nothing and everything all at once?

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

This is what happens when you vote pro bowl for every single Redskin.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

My whole point was three things about Sellers situation.

1. Bad time for salary cap reasons.

2. YOU SIGNED IT

3. Start winning, then ask for more. That goes for all of them. Winners get paid.

I don't like designing an offense around your fullback's salary.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

dang sellers is complaining about a 4 yr/4 mil contract for a FB with 700k as a signing bonus? hes getting paid more than i expected he was. when i clicked on the link i expected his salary to be in the 500k range but i guess he is a vet and probaly cant be paid that little.

damn drew must be in his ear.

what a crappy ass friday.

go skins!!

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

If I'm correct I'm sure Sellers agent made all the money when he signed a new deal and now Drew Rosenhaus wants to make some money by getting him a new contract.

yup thats my inclination too, drew just wants a cut from his new player and the best way to do that is ask for a new deal. drew is a POS and i rarely hate on people.

go skins!!

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Mike, get over it. See you at mini camp.

Dan

You know Danny and Drew though; and you can't blame Drew, Sellers went to him for a reason.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid are we???

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Sellers is my favorite skin but he's acting like a little bitch about this. If he wants money then he can get it by showing up to work out? I'd hate to see him go but hey it is draft time. There will be some good FBs in the latter rounds, perhaps in the seventh?

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Maybe Sanchez can pull time at FB while he's learning our offense.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

1 yard against Cincinati messed up the whole season. It also proved to me Zorn does not have the smarts to be an NFL head coach. Why not give it to Portis? Cause you didn't want him to score? Because he called you a "GENIE YUS" earlier that week? I would have fired him on the spot.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Rosenhaus strikes again!

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Sellers is getting up there in age, gotta figure he has a couple of seasons left at best. He's looking to cash in on his Pro Bowl appearance, hard to blame him for that. When push comes to shove he's not going to sit out. Let him pout for now, who cares.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Love Sellars, but he needs to realize the position he plays and what his market value is.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

its gotten to his head...

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

If he leaves, who will we count on for one terribly-timed special teams personal foul penalty per game?

its getting harder and harder to find true fullbacks

hybrids are becoming more and more common....most fullbacks in the league are just big running backs and dont have the skillset required to actually be labeled fullback

blocking is key and sellers deserves more credit than he gets

the redskins have bigger, more pressing needs tho and sellers can wait for a new contract.

when is his current contract up?

Seriously. Can someone tell me the last time a 34 year old FB held out for more money? Exactly. He'll be there in training camp.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Hate to say it but Sellers IS underpaid. He's been the best contract on our books for years now.

I'm not one to support players who hold out for more money, and I won't necessarily support Sellers missing any real time, but I don't mind his bitching right now. Maybe it's cuz he's a CFL boy...

Not sure how Sellers compares to other FBs, but if you look at value to the Redskins, he is underpaid. There were many times last year when he was the only offensive player who gave a sh*t. Everyone brings up "the fumble" but it was one play in a long season. Sellers was our offensive MVP last year IMO.

There is no way Sellers should be making less than Suisham, Betts, Rock, Montgomery, Rocky, Golston, Todd Collins... Sellers was more valuable to our team last year than all those guys combined.

Everyone else can bitch at Snyder, why not Sellers...

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

That one thing that kills me about players. They sign a contract which at the time is good to them or they wouldn't have sign it in the first place. Then they go out and have a really good year now all of a sudden they are under paid. I am pretty sure when he signed the deal he was excepted to have some good years or the Skins would have not resigned him in the first place. I say we try to trade him and get a your FB one that can get 1 or 2 short yards without coughing it up!

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

He's OD'd on too much Tat ink.

I wouldn't be against taking care of him at some point before the season starts if there's some cap room left over. Maybe a new 2 year deal or something along those lines.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

He needs to complain after the draft because they can replace his ass with javorski lane if they wanted to

No kidding. Player signs with Rosenhaus. Minutes later, player is demanding more money. This story has played out a million times it seems.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

Mike Sellers' signed a contract 2 yrs ago 4yrs/4 mil. Now after 1 probowl (that the Redskins fans voted you in) he gets the worse agent in the NFL and DEMANDS a new contract and refuses to attended OTA's. Let's not forget he's on the wrong side of 30. He's missed a few games the past 2 yrs with injuries.

The same Mike Sellers who got a second chance with this team after he talked trash about the team on his way to Cleveland.Where he was arrested and let go after he was found guilty on drug charges.Disgraced and down on his luck ended up in the CFL.If not for Coach Gibbs he would be where exactly?? Certainly not making a million dollars a year in the NFL.

Can you say ingrate?

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

I wouldn't call him an ingrate. It almost expected once you become a pro bowler and one of the tops at your position, you would want the max at your position. He very well could be upset with the treatment of Campbell.

Re: Sellers Unhappy
 

You certainly can't expect someone to live on $1 mil. a year.

I like Big Mike Sellers but damn you made 1 Pro-Bowl in your entire career and now you need more cheese? Well lets see how you do this year and maybe the team then can give you a contract extention. I understand that you are 34yrs old and it will be your last big payday but get to the Pro-Bowl again then they got to pay you. See you in camp Big Mike.
