Thanks for clarifying that you're not mad. NFL contracts are mere guidelines. They're effectively "here's some money this year, and then we'll see". These contracts are NOT fully guaranteed. Also, when you read or hear that a player got $100Million contract, ask for how much is guaranteed because those big amounts quoted are nowhere close to what gets paid out for most players. You can have your opinion, but what i'm trying to tell you is how the business works. If your opinion conflicts with the facts on the ground then you're going to run into problems. Opinions are like freedom of speech...they come with consequence. That's the silent part that many don't tell you. Saying a player shouldn't ask for a raise is all well and good except that player, in that so-called bad year, made it to the pro-bowl for the first time in his career. So again, the year you call a bad one wasn't viewed that way by the pro bowl. Okay, you're going to argue next that the pro bowl isnt worth spit....okay sure, that's a fine opinion to have except for the fact (facts keep interfering...) that in contract negotiations, those individual accolades (pro bowl, walter payton man of the year, all pro, etc) will absolutely carry weight. So again...it's fine to have opinions but facts matter. Do i think Moore played well last year? Meh, he had a so-so year especially early on but you'd best believe he's not arbitrarily asking for money, he has a legit case that's almost water tight. The ball is in Ballard's court. It's either we pay him or someone else likely will. This is business.

Heh, I don't know how to defend my "tone". I just posted every single post of mine here and there is one overlapping theme in pretty much every single one of them - level of play and whether it deserves a new contract or not. No idea how much he gets this year if he were a FA. Based on how much other slots are getting... probably not as much as you assume. I didn't find a list of salaries, but I searched lists of best slot CBs and checked their salaries one by one. Kenny's was the highest. Now this might be missing someone, but I thought it was likely that I checked most of the better/highest paid slots. The salaries slot CBs get are very low compared to outside CBs. It was kind of shocking to see. Makes you wonder even more, how much exactly does Kenny want?

First off, you mentioned a bunch of people that I wasn’t addressing, nor am I mad. Secondly, I was genuinely asking what contracts are for, if not to honor them. What is the point? Thirdly, I can have my own opinion about if a player has a bad year and asks for more money, it seems like entitlement to me? Others have said other CBs around the league are making more money? That sounds like entitlement to me. Now if he played as well or better than previous years, it would make sense to me to ask for more money. That’s just my opinion. Others may disagree. -
This you?? There's a tone to these comments, and it's not all 'his play doesn't warrant a new contract,' either. But when I mentioned the tone of the posts in this thread, it wasn't exclusively about your posts. And how much would he get paid if he were a FA this offseason? Realistically speaking, probably twice as much as he's scheduled to make over the next two seasons, and at least the first two years would be guaranteed, or close to it. And that's even with his less than great 2021 season. And that's all this is about. He thinks he has a market that's well above what he's being paid now. If you're right that he wants much more, then like I said earlier, I'd have to tell him no, and prepare for him to sit out for however long he thinks he needs to. Again, that's the business. To the bolded, got a link or a list? I'm curious, because Spotrac doesn't differentiate slot corners. Which is what Deshaun Watson did all of 2021... I don't see KM doing that, but it's worth mentioning.
