Public opinion typically matters to players. Although we don't know how much he wants, I'm guessing it's more than top DE money. Players who demand to be the highest paid non QB are not only greedy, but crappy team mates. Not leaving money left for others leaves your team weaker in spots. I'm hoping Nick gets a big bag of money from us ASAP, but it shouldn't be much more than Watt (who's a better player)
Disagree on both of these statements
Agreed.

I disagree with this as well. A lot of guys on our team (Warner, armstead, kittle, juice, Trent) are amongst the highest paid at their position and are captains. So that doesn't make sense.
i do think some guys are selfish and hypocrites but not guys like bosa. Especially if he structures it in a way to help the team. I think guys like Rodgers have been selfish/greedy at times in his career because he signed short deals so he could continually be amongst the highest paid at the position, instead of doing what mahommes and hurts have done where it's long contracts to help the team stay competitive. I wouldn't put bosa in that group.
Rodgers last 2 contracts were 4 years and then 3 years. It's hard to build a competitive roster outside of the draft when you don't have 5-6 years to spread the large qb salary around.
dak llayed on the franchise tag (massive single year cap hit that can't be fiddled with) and then a four year deal - it's almost already over and he's hitting $60M in cap hit.
im not mad at these guys for getting paid, do what you gotta do, but just don't talk like you're all about winning a super bowl. Be a little more team friendly cap wise - you're still making a ton.
