You'll never see a quote from the man himself. His agent however?

I'm sure that most fans will disagree with me. Jimmy (and his agent) should try to get every penny they can. The NFL is a short lived existence that can be over in the blink of an eye. It's not like baseball or basketball where the entire contract is guaranteed. In fact it's a virtual certainty that any big money contract will either not be paid completely or will get restructured in the NFL. It's the nature of the business.

As tough as it is for fans to understand there is a difference in the playing of football and the business of football. The former is everyone is in for the team. The latter is everyone is in for themselves.

It's just business. So I ain't mad about it. Jimmy deserves every penny he gets.
