What is his gripe? That the Saints will cut him next year because they don't wanna pay the back half of his contract because it's back loaded or whatever? He signed the contract knowing that. That's the business. What leverage does he have? He'll hold out training camp and not get paid anything at all?

He wants the money he is making over the rest of his contract to be fully guaranteed. He isn't asking for more money. His non-guaranteed cap hits are:
2015: $2.5m
2016: $4.95m
2017: $4.75m

That's an absolute steal for a player as good as he is. We're in a tough spot if he asks for more money, but he claims that he is not. Fully guaranteeing that deal is easily worth the risk that he gets seriously injured. fricking Buster Skrine just signed a $6m/season deal.
