I thought demarco was loyal to the team. maybe if they got rid of the fuckin salary cap the loyalty that players used to have back in the day would return.
Lol. Madbro is mad, bro. Let's look at Revis indeed... in 2013, REVIS WAS TRADED TO THE BUCS. Yeah... real lack of loyalty on Revis' part. Putz. Then he goes to the Patriots... wins a Superbowl, and the Jets realize what a mistake shipping him out of town was, so they paid him what he's worth and he came back. Loyalty works both ways. If the team is willing to pay players what they're worth, they never get to FA. Cobb signed a team discount contract with GB. Plenty of players sign team-friendly extensions or restructuring to make the cap work. What Dallas did was insult Murray by offering him half of what he was worth, and he walked. That's what happens when the team has no loyalty.
The Salary Cap is essential to a fair league. It's what ensures no competitive advantage. If a halfway decent coach/GM combo took over the Raiders today, they could be a SB contender in 3 years. That's a good thing.
