In general i do have some sympathy with players wanting to know were they are long term. There are not many job were you sign to live and work in one city for x amount of year and the company then says we are transferring you all the way across country. If you have move to be closer to home and put your kids in school and bought a house the last thing you need is getting told you are moving thousands of miles away

I know what you're saying, but at the same time there aren't many jobs that pay what he makes either. Part of what drives the exorbitant costs to sign players these days is the sheer nature of the business and players not knowing what to expect in the future. Between that and this stupid "market value" crap that pays players countless millions more than they are worth because of lack of quality available options, and you get these massive bidding wars.

None of these players are truly worth what they make, but the market says they are, so that's the way it is. That's why I don't shed a tear for a player who feels insecure about whether he might get moved. Does he want to work a regular job then? I'm not saying he should be a robot. If he'd rather not be moved around, ok, but don't start throwing around ultimatum's like the whole universe revolves around you.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
