That's his job. That is why he makes 14+million.
I am actually not making a direct comparison to a typical salary but more that the argument that when is it enough. It's not capitalism it is pure greed and entitlement on the part of BA. It's funny how some claim he should get fair market value and yet he isn't in the market and when he does get offers that market provides he blows them off.
The tribalism of the NFL does breed stupidity. I guess I am one of them.
No it's actually the definition of capitalism lol. It's demand/supply and the market setting the worth of a profession/person/widget or whatever.
Also no he is in the market. He's due for an extension, his agent and him use other contracts to gauge their worth…he has absolutely no reason to sign below what the market is saying his worth is. He's clearly NOT all about the money because he did in fact say no to that NE contract.
Look man you can be frustrated with how much players make…imo that's a massive waste of time because you can't change it. This "business" is booming and we're all part of making it happen. $13B last yr and that s**t is going up.
There's no tribalism in what I'm saying. Im just telling ya that's how capitalism and things like the NFL roll.
can't wait for next yr when Brock isn't taking a "hometown" discount
