    Well from what i can gather, it looks as though the ravens would be willing to offer him the same thing we're asking him to take. This thing looks like the Eddie George thing all over again. It's a matter of pride for steve. He's going to go to Baltimore and make the same amount of money we are asking him to take. He'll play one season there then be released next year.
    That's my prediction

    Not just football contracts but ALL contracts. I am not talking about what he is worth. Regardless, that is the agreement, pay up. Pay up for the same reasons everybody talked bad about TO. You signed the contract now honor it. Would it have been unfair for McNair to hold out and ask for a new contract the year he won the MVP? yes, because he had already agreed to a contract and he should honor it. If that's the case the you agree that players should not have to honor their contracts. Is that the way you feel? If they feel they are worth more they should have their deal redone?

    I agree with what you're saying BUT:

    The owner's and player union like it the way it is. They (neither side) haven't tried to address "contract reform" in their meetings. So, NFL contracts are what they are- payment for current performance with alot of extra language and maneuvering.

    If McNair didn't have the $13.5 on his cap number and we were talking $9 mil here, does he get locked out?

    Jeff, this is a moot question. He was going to have some kind of prorated money that counts against the cap regardless. There is no way it could be a question of just the $9 mil.

    As SK already pointed out, players expect to get paid when they're production outweighs their contract. It happens all the time. It happened with Steve, it happend with Eddie, and two years ago it happened with Keith... they didnt hold out and make a fuss like Javon Walker, but the Titans redid their deals to reflect their current worth. And unfortunately, most of these guys get amnesia about that later in their careers when suddenly the deal they did 3-4 years ago is worth more than their production on the field. The only reason Steve didnt get a raise after his MVP season is because he'd just gotten a huge new contract in 2001.

    Moot? I think it shows the locking out of McNair for what it was -- the most classless act by the Titans since arriving in Nashville.

    It was, and remains, a total embarrassment.
