I would have held out also and coming back only put Walker in a position to fail because the Packers would have just franchised him later. Now he has only one ACL and having suffered that injury, although I'm not a world-class athlete, it's an up hill battle for Walker to ever get that big payday. <BR/><BR/>The NFL players need to sit down before the next collective bargaining session and say, hey look at baseball and basketball players. They get better salaries, more concrete deals, and have avenues to get leverage in contract situations. The whole T.O. debacle made fans wary of these issues because T.O. is such a bloated egomaniac who put himself in his dilemma. Players like Walker and Gates are just trying to get a contract that is worthy of their position level.<BR/><BR/>With the NFL by far bringing in the most $$$ it makes you wonder where all the money goes? You can’t tell me Billy Clay Ford is making more off the Lions than he is on his side biz. The NFL has some pretty deep pockets and the players are never in a position to get a whole lot of that money when it's falling from the sky. It’s really a shame when you see NBA washouts like (insert any of 50 players here) making more money than an Edge, Dwight Freeney, or Brian Westbrook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
