Re: NFL contracts need changing
What exactly is the problem with NFL contracts? There will always be salary disputes in any line of work. The NFL has the only system that does a reasonably good job of keeping salaries in line with performance. It seems to me that other sports screw the pooch much worse with the contracts they give out. Brian Grant will be making another $14 million next year, and Jim Thome will be making $46 million over the next 3 years one way or the other.
As far as the Gates situation goes, I've heard he wants a 3 year deal, which just makes no sense. The Chargers can tender him this year and next, then franchise him after that, so what motive would they possibly have to give him a big 3 year deal?
