I'm not familiar with the Carson Palmer situation.

Real talk I think they need to start implementing a way players like Calvin and Barry to be able leave their teams after a certain amount of time spent. Call it an "incompetence" clause or something. If a franchise player has a certain amount of accolades and the team fails to meet their goals (playoff appearances, number of wins) the contract can be voided or something.
i like this because unlike the NBA, NFL player careers aren't that long so it's not like you have to worry about a shytload of players invoking this, plus salary cap keeps dudes on the move as well. but the NFLPA aint got the clout to pull this off

Kind of shocking but not suprising considering he's made a lot of money and he's 30 now and may have his eye on his health in the future. I think a lot of these players will start retiring earlier and earlier with all the health risks associated with football.

He was never getting that money :what:

Don't you understand that he is declining rapidly..

He counts $24 million against the cap next season..

He would of been forced to renegotiate or get cut.

What? The Lions are on the hook for 12 million. He's definitely not getting cut. Why would he willingly restructure?

:dead:

Ok where have you been all season?

That has been the narrative. He is not the same player. His body is betraying him and he counts $24 million against the cap..
