Re: NFL contracts need changing

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?

Speaking strictly financially, they have no reason to do anything other than what you said. But it could be good for their future to take care of Gates now. If they get a reputation as being a hardline team, other players may be less likely to sign.
