I don’t blame Reggie for low balling this kid Criner. If Criner won’t give in here he is only committing professional suicide. If I was a GM and was witnessing what was going on here I wouldn’t touch Criner with a ten foot pole. He’s acting like Randy Moss and TO combined. Such behavior bodes badly; what will Criner be like once he has some success?

Reggie is a cheap ass and good enought for him. Gone are the days when idiot AD will offer a water boy a million buck to fetch for the season.

If I were Reggie, if Criner didn’t show up in camp, I would kick him to the curb. My next target would be the big, lousy chlub, Seymour.

The Reggie has spoken, and he will not give in, nor should he. He folds, and it has a domino effect league-wide

That’s plenty of cash for Criner to live a nice lifestyle and prove he’s worth big money.

Talk about jumping over a $20 to grab a $5.

14K after taxes and agent fee’s and union dues, insurance, etc, is probably around half of that.

All these guys, be it top 10 picks or 5th rounders, need to get their azz in camp, in the good graces of the organization, and try to get to that BIG payday, which is your 2nd NFL contract.

Sure.. But I dont really see it as caving in.. if the first pic gets 1 dollar, and the third pic get 3 dollars then criner the hypothetical second pic, should get 2 dollars whether he’s a compensatory pic or not…

I’m sure RM has explained the bigger picture to Criner, he must have a douchey agent.

I wonder if Criner realizes the 14g’s after the agents % (700), taxes (5600) It’s only 7700 dollars.

Sign the contract get to camp, being on the bench will cost Criner millions.

He is slotted to get what he’s asking for.. But reg wants to pay only what the league says he has to. As a compensatory pick, he isnt due they pay slot between #32 of his rd & #1 of the next rd. comp picks get screwed by rule.. But reg should do the right thing and pay him as if he was a regular pick..

Couldn’t Reggie add some incentives to the deal and settle this without having to set a precedent of caving in.

How many people here would now rather get maybe a Burris jersey instead of Criner?…maybe not many, but he’s losing cash as we blog.imo
