Probably because it eats up so much of the salary cap and forces us to make big sacrifices at other positions of need. My only problem with him is we heard so much about how he was a team first player and was willing to sacrifice to win. Then he demanded to be the highest paid player in the NFL. The holdout hurt the team without Payton here to manage it. When we needed a team first leader the most, ours was missing. Still our QB, and still a great guy, just kind of put him into perspective for me.
Don't get me wrong. I felt this way slightly. But at the same time, and I may be wrong here, he deserved to get paid. Maybe not quite as much as he did. But he earned it I believe.
And it's not like they didn't try to play hardball with him on the deal. He played back.

I think he did too. He has been playing at a greatness level and deserved to be paid. My issue was that he claimed all the way that he wasn't about the highest paid stuff and cared more about winning than that. Than he held out to be the highest paid. If he had never said that stuff, nothing to complain about.
