Your winning games argument is beyond ridiculous. Roquan being a really good player on medicore/shitty teams isn't his problem. It's the bears problem. For not flushing out the roster for more quality talent. Using your logic no good players on suspect teams should even get paid. That's not the way the NFL works.
Also, the NFL is a business first and foremost, it's in the players best interest to make as much as they can when they can because it can all be over in one snap of the ball.
What's even more hilarious is you completely ignoring why he held out on his rookie deal. That hold out ended up being a win for players around the NFL. The language in the original contract was ugly from a players perspective, especially at his position and the contact involved.
Cancer lololololoooooo
So hampering the team with the highest paid player at a position that doesn't win us games and won't ever win us games is your solution?
How did giving him a huge contract work out with Cutler?
There is a thing called a salary cap. When you give one player too much of that cap it had better be someone who wins games on their own because you limit the amount of help you can get after that.
We got screwed getting rid of Mack's bloated contract, we don't need another right now.
I don't ignore why he held out last time. I make no judgment whether the outcome was good or bad. My issue is this player held out here then and now this player is holding out refusing to perform while under contract so he get get more later. If you can't see the pattern that is your idiocy not mine.
If this player had played his 5th and then worked out a contract the other hold out could've been forgotten by me.
I seriously don't give a shit about the plight of the poor little rich kids playing pro sports. If I did it would be about the ones who get paid minimum not the ones who are crying about 20 million dollar contracts while claiming to be for the ones making minimum.
Cry me a river.
There's your problem, you're pretending to be Monday Morning GM while trying to do it from a "player's perspective". You can't have it both ways. You're playing Monday Morning Agent while claiming it is for the good of the team.
I'm looking from a fan perspective. Does he win games? If he wants my endorsement, and I'm sure he doesn't give a crap what I say he waits until next year after he proves he can win us games. Then I'll be all for paying him if him winning games happens.
But I think you or at least others have already admitted his position won't ever win us games.
