i just get very frustrated when people walk out on a contract, or have a good year so they want to renegotiate--but have a bad year--can you imagine the reaction if a player was told we want to renegotiate because you weren't up to snuff?? but perfectly acceptable to put the owner on the spot. it's ridiculous.
saban is lucky he worked for who he worked for, huizenga is being quite a gentleman about it all.
happens all the time in the NFL. Contracts are NOT guaranteed and players are forced to take paycuts all the time.
