Maybe we should make everyone from last seaeon's defense the highest paid for being a complete failure as a unit ?? Then if we get near .500 & they crack the top 25 teams, we can have an automatic doubling of their pay.
A different idea is pay based on success as a unit, which usually is the reason you reward successful people. Parker is off his rocker & Byrd has lead the league in nothing over the past 3 years. Victor Cruz lead WR's in all categories the past 2 years & took less than Byrd wanted, at a much more crucial position. Drop the hometown discount BS there, he's more than going to make it up in outside pay (commercials / marketing deals).
Goodluck to Byrd & Parker on their quest, it's off the hook crazy talk.
