Nahhh, I wouldn't say he has gotten screwed, he just out played his contract. Drew out played his initial Saints contract, and while people think a contract should change weekly based on how a player performs, it just doesn't work that way.

Players and teams want contracts because they both thrive on certain parts of a contract. The Saints get cheap TDs and Jimmy Graham gets paid when he drops passes or is hurt.

It could be fixed Beaty easily.... $x for a TD and $Y for a yard. Neither side wants that.

There is harmony and balance.... Will Smith has grossly under played his contract.
