Afraid I can't provide my beloved Harty with an amen here. Firstly, as spectators, you and me only get one whole figure for the contract offer and we think, yea go get it. BUT, people get ****ed and ****ed hard in contract negotiations if clubs are given the chance. Prime example: Philip Rivers - they quoted his overall sallary number. But in order to trigger about $25 million of those bonuses he'd have had to win six superbowls and go to six pro-bowls. Thus if they offered Winslow 40m with half that coming from bonuses on stupid conditions (like get 10 sacks in a season), then why blame the guy?
I read about him asking to play DE, and I LIKE that! The Browns are a heap of **** at present, their depth chart has Warrick Holdman starting BOTH outside linebacker positions.. Winslow is good, he's very good, and it's good to have an emotional leader, rookie or not.
On the other hand, he does act childishly sometimes. That is where I agree with Harty entirely, nothing's worth getting in a fight with some guy over.. hit him with a hard block the next time he comes near. I love Julian Peterson, coz he's professional about it, none of that crazy Ray Lewis stuff - "when I hit a guy I wanna take his soul". So I prefer the Petersons and Ahman Greens of this world, but if a guy whose arrogant can play like there are two of him like Lewis, then I don't care I want em on my team too.
