Players are private contractors - they get paid market rate based on their skill set. I don't know why so many cannot grasp that. The NFL is a business. Stan has more money than he'll ever be able to spend in a 10 lifetimes -why are season tickets, parking and concessions so expensive. Hasn't he made enough money?
The teams are fat with broadcast and streaming contracts and those numbers are also going to keep going up. Fox is going to pay Brady over 300 million to talk on tv! The league and everyone associated with it are swimming in money - Donald just wants his cut...and he should get it. It's a free market.
