Comments on: COLES DEAL A GUARANTEE, NOT AN EXTENSION? http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/28/coles-deal-a-guarantee-not-an-extension/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:57:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Stoogie http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/28/coles-deal-a-guarantee-not-an-extension/#comment-10128 Stoogie Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:06:54 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/28/coles-deal-a-guarantee-not-an-extension/#comment-10128 Wouldn't it be fresh if one day a team told a player to cram their b!tching and complaining where the sun doesn't shine and live with the contract they signed instead of making threats? Instead of doing so, they go ahead and pony up the cash wagon. $11 million for "long term security"? Is that player-talk for "I want $11 million so I can be an average WR in the NFL"? Maybe Patrick Ewing said it best about being a pro sports athlete "Yeah, we make a lot, but we spend a lot too".

Not normal and not something other teams would like to see start happening, am I right? If the rest of the deal becomes guaranteed, isn’t that rather unique in the NFL?

If he doesn't understand that and thinks that rewording it to be an 11 million dollar guarantee for more years which in the end means they can cut him and it's the same thing anyway then so be it... Another issue people tried to blow up.
