McAllister's deal proves there's no loyalty in NFL

Both sides do the exact same thing!

What about when Horn left us for the Birds? Where was his loyalty? What about when players agree to contracts for 5 years and the next year want to restructure because some of their counterparts got big raises.

It's really the same thing for both sides. The players get paid handsomely for their risky job. I don't feel sorry for any player or team, including Deuce. Deuce chose this profession, he has made enough money to support himself and his family for the rest of his life.

If the Front Office didn't do what was best for the team in every decision they make, they would be scrwing us fans! I respect Deuce a ton, but I root for the Saints first and foremost. If a deal showing loyaly to Deuce would put us behind the 8-ball down the road, I'd rather not do it.

That's the point. The team is doing what it should for us, the fans. The player however should not be looking out for us the fans, he should be looking out for himself and his family. Players SHOULD hold out of training camp, demand trades, etc. The teams show loyalty to the FANS by making the best deals they can and cutting vets instead of overpaying them. The teams rarely show loyalty to players. I don't blame players one bit for not showing their employers loyalty.

A player never knows when they will also have two blown knees and suddenly not be worth their contract, they should always do all they can to get the maximum amount of money they can while they are on the top of their game.

If Colston thinks by being quiet, classy, and loyal right now it will pay off for him later in his career when he has two blown knees he is mistaken. Get paid now.
