He deserves to be paid, and he's using one of the only tools at his disposal to try to negotiate.

 

I never like this approach, but don't know enough about his team/agent situation to know if it's necessary in this case.

 

In most cases, I don't believe it is.  Agents love the drama.

 

For his sake, I hope it doesn't end up being a sit out, get hurt when you come back, and still haven't gotten a deal scenario.

 

He's a top talent and among the best at his position.  You simply can't do that if you aren't special with such garbage at QB.  I can't root against his personal success, though I may not wish for his team's success.
