[CBFF] Holdouts

[Jerry Madsen]

Perhaps you are right, but it truly hurts my head to think about it.
I hate rookie holdouts, but I understand why they occur so often in
the NFL.  That is the period of a players career where they will have
the most leverage against a team; with the exception of the franchise
caliber player.

In the case of Briggs and Jones, they've got next to nothing over the
Bears.  Hell, Jones is already being paid starters' coin.  They both
have to know how futile a holdout would be.

So here's hoping there's nothing on our radar on the 27th.
