Every year around this time NFL camps are in full tilt, and we always have these words: CONTRACT HOLDOUTS. And of course players have the rights to get the worth on the market for contracts that have expired. But I have a real issue for players who sign deals and in the middle of these contracts, even though they have outperformed these contracts, still as a player u should be able to negotiate two ways: expiring or one year left. If teams start negotiating players contracts before those two factors could you imagine how many players would be griping.

Case in point, just heard Darrelle Revis aka Revis Island is holding out because he wants to be the highest paid corner in the game and rightfully so. But two things wrong here, revis has two years left where he will be paid $21 Million and on his rookie contract and the jets have other guys like center Nick Mangold and LB David Harris who need deals as well. Yeah the jets are going to take vare of the #1 CB in tha game, but u have to spread the wealth a little bit. And behind all this is the Collective Bargaining between players n coaches about of course $$$$$$$$$$$$$ what else.

By the way Revis Island is a cool place. It has torn jerseys of different numbers n colors like: #80 in navy in red, #81 in red, silver, and navy, #85 its hanging in the JUNGLE part of the island with Bengals colors, and many more. The scary part of the island is that you cannot leave until Revis let you go, and/or your QB signs to get you off the island after getting picked off the island, or the loud horn that almost sounds like recess period ending in grade school back in the day. This is not the place for vacation either, there is no sand and everything is green. The huge Castle on the island is on the only street on the island at 24 jets island way. Not a lot of people hanging out on this street, even though there is one policeman with badge #24 policing these streets.

So word to the wise, before any professional athlete says bogus SH.. like, " I am trying to take care of or feed my Family", go get u a real job and see how hard it is to get to the pay scale most if not all of you are on really. To the NY football JETS" pay the man", u said he was the best CB in the game so pay him like one.

See New Yorkers Yall think every team in Gotham thinks like the Bombers, well they don't.
