Does anyone have any recent examples (last 10-12 years) of a player in the NFL holding out over a contract dispute and missing games? The only example I can think of is Le'Veon Bell and that went very poorly for him…

Do you make $88,000 per year and live somewhat comfortably?
In 20 YEARS you will have earned what Nick Bosa has been offered by the 49ers to play ONE GAME per week.
F Bosa TBH.
This is an awful take.

On the flip side....
Does your work performance help bring in millions of dollars in revenue in sales (tickets, merchandise, etc) each year? I'm all for paying a player for what they bring to the table.

Lol imagine thinking BA and Hufff matter more (I know you don't)
peeps be wild in here with that stuff.
Who in here said BA and Huff matter more? I hope you aren't referencing our exchange yesterday because if you thought I meant that then you misunderstood.
No I'm not. There's some folks that are complaining about the long-term cap because of this deal. Those are two players due for extensions. They take a back seat to Bosa.
. It really comes down to drafting well in order to maintain the window. At some point a team must pay to retain the superstars, and draft well to replenish the tier 2 guys - the guys that would get overpaid on the open market, they know it, so they opt to test the open market (McGlinchy is a recent example). How they re-signed Greenlaw to his second contract was highway robbery.

I'm a free market guy, market forces will determine the outcome here.

This is easy, Paraag and Lynch vs Bosa and his agent in Madden.

Those ticket sales will continue whether Bosa or anyone else earns $30 million per year. People watch the gmes and it doesn't matter how much the players are getting paid. I've seen no evidence at all that player performance improves with higher pay. it's an ego thing as much as anything else. Ego and agents. Players long ago bypassed the level where they weren't getting paid enough.

If Bosa doesn't sign and he misses this game, I hope he comes within 1 or 2 sacks of breaking the single season record and does NOT get it, then wishes he had more games.

Who cares if he's not in the building? That's what DocuSign is for

This just in - the hold up is because Bosa incorrectly signed with the SF 49'ers, a minor league soccer team from Sante Fe, and he's trying to get out of that legal snafu before signing with the NFL team of a similar name.

As someone who interacts with DocuSign dozens if not hundreds of times per week, this s**t had me laughing. Well done sir.
As for Bosa, there is no point commenting anymore. I would like to know what, exactly, is the hold up. At least then I would have a target for my frustration.
