Should receivers get paid by thier stats?

Not knocking what you said Kool, I am knocking this team for being in this position, cause it\'s true. And since it is true, we are screwed.

Look at it this way, we aren\'t gonna draft a WR in this year\'s draft. we aren\'t gonna draft one in next year\'s prob(and there def won\'t be a Mike Williams). So what happens if Joe retires? We are screwed. What happens if those nagging injuries Joe has EVERY game keeps him out once he gets paid? We are screwed. Joe reminds me of Cuba Gooding in Jerry McGuire. Did everything in his damn power to show he was worth a big deal, which he has. I can\'t knock him on that. But with him making comments about holding out, I can see Joe getting a new contract and those nagging injuries he played through to get the contract keeps him sidelined a week here, two weeks there, so he can get paid every cent for every year he signed for.

All in all, I guess I am not afraid to be without a certain player. I don\'t feel anyone on this team is indispensible no matter who is or isn\'t available. I am not the type to like feeling like I am backed into a corner, and this team has fans backed into a corner on several players. Kinda like we better be happy with what they have cause noone better is out there. I don\'t like that at all and I don\'t feel it should be a factor in pressuring anyone to give into any player\'s demands.

That being said, 3-4 mil is not bad, EXCEPT Joe has said he wants top 5 money, and he is willing to hold out. Kinda like McCardell did in Tampa last year. They had noone beter, drafted Michael Clayton and he was almost rookie of the year. As a matter of fact, his numbers weren\'t too far from Joe\'s, as a rookie. So NOONE on this team can scare me with the noone is better out there mantra. Not Joe, not AB, noone. Hell, what\'s the worse that could happen, we won\'t make the playoffs? We get to draft Matt Leinart? What? They can go blackmail someone else with that bunk.
