The NFL is the ONLY league where I can understand players trying to negotiate new contracts, because the contracts aren't guarenteed. once you get outside of the upfront money, you can tear up the deal at will if you are the team, and have no committment to the rest of the deal. Places like MLB, NBA, and NHL where the guys get all of the money they sign for are different.
This is how I feel, even though I hate all the hold outs.
Hester's situation makes it seem he is greedy, but look what he brings to the Bears. Look at the jersey's he sells. He is the most dangerous player in the NFL. Market wise, he is severely under paid. And the NFL market is all you have to compare him to.
