He should have performed better in college and got drafted higher. Honor your contract man.

And the team can cut or trade him at anytime. It works both ways. It’s about the money for these players, they are putting their body on the line and trying to maximize their earnings in as little time as possible, because as mentioned above, loyalty from the team can be sparse sometimes. 

I don’t like it, but it’s the reality. And as others pointed out above, the FO was happy to throw money to Bortles. Pay the man

QB is the most valuable position on the team.  DE is important, but replaceable even for a stud talent.  If you want to get paid more, learn how to spin the ball.

I think the players should go to the wall in the next CBA for fully guaranteed contracts.  On the other hand, I think owners in the NFL (and NBA)  should go to the wall on players honoring their contracts.  Holding out because you want a new contract is not honorable.  Negotiate.  Tell them if they don't come to a compromise to get you a better contract that you will not resign when you become a free agent.  But don't hold out.
