He won't be in shape until the middle of the season. He's probably carrying an extra 20lbs.

The Krueg Show said he called in sick. He was not at practice. This team man. After they get paid they are so lazy.

I hope future contracts should have more performance incentives with less guarantees.
With exception of few pros of pros more than half of these holdouts don't pan out.

1. older players trying to get last guaranteed
2. petulant players using social media

It will never happen. But I wish contracts were almost all incentive / performance based. Have some sort of injury safety net via the CBA. I have no problem if, for instance, Aiyuk were to earn his $30 million per year (or more) because he racks up 1700 yards and 17 TDs. But if he gets 700 yards and 6 TDs this season, that's a pretty s**t return on your investment.

Do you think the NFL would allow an IV pole on the field?

I run a couple small businesses that tend to slow down in the winter months. I pay my employees 25ish percent salary and 75% performance incentives. Of course that won't work in the NFL, but it's such a great model to adhere to.

every GM in the league would want this....but the whole agent industry is set up to make sure this never happens.

Anyone remember Ricky Williams....?

That is exhibit A for why this is not a thing.
