Honoring contracts in the NFL is bunk. NFL teams sign contracts all the time that they have no intention of honoring. Teams will cut players in a hot minute as long as its expedient and doesn't damage their salary cap.

As such, I have no problem with NFL players demanding more guarantees, and bogarting their way into better situations when teams balk. It's a business and a livelihood for players, not just a slavish devotion to a team like we fans have.

And exactly where did MT13 not honor his contract. The player was injured and the recommended course of action for recovery didn't work as expected. That's not breaking a contract.

While I understand fans want to see their favorite players, the fact that they are unavailable doesn't make those players horrible people and contract breakers.
