WarDlowe 39 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I understand that he was #2 overall... but come on and be a team player. I think that holding out, especially as a rookie who has never played a down of NFL ball is ridiculous. Sign your name at the bottom of the page and be there for your teammates RB.

Ronnie's agent couldnt afford to let his client sign for less that the #3 draft choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKieAuburnDoug 1 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 hopefully he doesn't have the same agent as TO or this will go on forever! Benson is holding out in Chicago while Peterson is putting on quite a show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agents do all they can to get as much money for himself and the player, but the player always has the final say. It does not matter what the agent 'could afford' to do. Ronnie has the ultimate say in whether he signs a certain contract or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 242 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Ronnie's a business man now. Let him and his agent work out the details. It will all work out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheeltiger 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Ronnie's a business man now. Let him and his agent work out the details. It will all work out in time. 174030[/snapback] We area talking a lot of money some are asking him to forgo to be a "team" player. How many out there in the every day world would accept 80 grand a year when you could get a fair marker value of a 100,000 just to be a "team player"? This is professional sports and this is the way it is. This is also the reason I haven't watched a professional game (any sport) since Elway won the Super Bowl - except for last nights preseason Redskin game. I used to be a BIG Brown's fan but what a professional athelete makes is such a turn off I lost interest. And don't get me started on what todays rich and famous - atheletes or not - can get away with with enough green.................................
