[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 910776, member: 7261"] While I think all these guys are "overpaid", I could understand the logic behind him making more, if it was a new contract year or he had inserted some kind of escalator clause in his contract, but apparently he or his agent didn't. This is really where I am not happy with Pro Contracts. This isn't 2 kids at a school yard, spitting on their hands and shaking on an agreement. These are highly paid professional agents, attorneys, athletes, etc. involved in the making of very complicated, very expensive contracts. People saying "well he deserves more or the team is ******** him" need to remember this can go both ways. What if Rodgers has a crappy year or is injured, who got screwed in that situation? There is a reason they call the time period before a contract is signed "Contract negotiations". Much money, time and effort is poured into creating these contracts, negotiating the minor details and at some point both sides agree its fair and sign it. So its really frustrating to see a player a year or two later say "damn, I need more before this contract is done" or "you need to do these things, despite them not being in that contract that I got a lot in exchange for". If you don't like that a contract can suddenly feel like a bad deal, don't sign it or get a better agent to represent you. But don't expect me to feel bad, because suddenly you feel underpaid or underappreciated. [/QUOTE]
