But I do believe a player may know what's best overall for him and it may be 8.5% less in a total deal, but factoring taxes, local name status and recognition, proximity to family, family being happy in an area, other opportunities, you're definitely right that all that is a factor... Lance Moore just disappeared once he left NO; sometimes "the right fit" & "overall happiness" is everything... |

I would think that as long as the player says it was he who originated the contact there isn't much the NFLPA can do about it.

Re: Willie Snead optimistic and hopeful that he signs long-term deal with Saints before season
I agree they're not "supposed to", but Kirwan said they actually do (my addition here) and as long as the players claim to have made first contact nothing can be done about it. Kirwan never said that part, but Occam's Razor. That's what I love about listening to Pat Kirwan. He holds nothing back and tells all about what happens behind the scenes in front office dealings. Very interesting man.
