Peterson's series of tweets about NFL contracts not being guaranteed brought a smile to many commentators faces over the last few days.
Yep, it's true. The NFL players association has negotiated these horrible contracts for you as part of the collective bargaining agreement. Teams aren't going to throw that much guaranteed money at you at the end of these contracts unless you are still able to perform.
IF you didn't WANT your current contract, you and your agent didn't have to sign it. But you DID!
You really should have complained about the contract four years ago before you were a broken down child-abuser. Be thankful the Vikings paid you last season and are willing to pay you this season as well.
Stop being such a whiny diva. Put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Like a man.
If you haven't put enough money away for the future with your past big money endorsement deals and past guarantees, it's really not our problem or the Vikings.
It's yours.
Stop blaming others for your mistakes.
From now on, you will be paid BASED ON YOUR PERFORMANCE. What could be more fair than that?
Welcome to the real world AP. Where everything isn't handed to you on a golden platter!!
ReplyDeleteOff topic but as the NBA draft gets closer I hope you have a few write ups on the Wolves
ReplyDeleteI can barely work up interest for the Wolves DURING the season. The draft might draw a comment or two, we'll see...
