He really didn't have a choice in the matter as the NFLPA doesn't want the precedent set for teams being able to do that. I'm sure he wants his money, who wouldn't, but at the same time the NFLPA was going to appeal no matter what.

I think the average NFL shelf life is like what 3 years... Heck yeah you want your money.

While astrophysicists work their entire lives to help further all of humanity and won't even sniff 1% of the money these moronic athletes make.
Sad market.
A good place you say? Hell yeah he is good. Got 17.9 million signing bonus and has only had to play in 21 football games to earn it. Lets see, 17.9 million divided by 1479 total yards rushing, 487 receiving yards = $9104.78 per yard. Good place? You betcha.
He will lose the appeal. I'm sure his agent pushed it as to ever think about having another client.

I think it’s standard NFLPA practice to appeal whether the players want to or not.

He'd be stupid not to appeal, win or lose. Worst case scenario for him is that he doesn't get his money.

Correct. Unless he wants to make a lot of people angry and even then they still may appeal it for him.

Guessing that place isn't the gym?
If the appeal gets denied, I just wonder if he'll still be in a "good place".
Does he even have guarantees that aren't salary at this point? If he plays well and doesn't get cut, he gets his money anyway.
