I usually side with the players on matters, especially when it comes to contracts and tags and such. But in this case, get off your butt, get in there and start learning. You can't get there soon enough. You have a lot to learn to even be able to play and maybe just maybe earn what you will already be paid. You are only on a 4 yr deal. We can talk about it again when you prove you have outplayed your deal. Till then, take millions for sitting the bench and be grateful like you should be.What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?

Lock should be smart enough to know he has no leverage other than playing the QB position. This team has a good starting QB and two good backups ahead of him. He can sit out this year for all we care, it will only cost him and save us money, so where is the leverage? Now if this was 2016, that would be a different story but his bargaining chip is a joke at this point. Poor advice from his agent! He may end up missing the opportunity to start 2 preseason games, hold out and he may start 0.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally posted by johnlimburg View PostThank you for that. One would assume this is an agent move and not Lock actually bickering over the up front bonuses on a rookie contract ? Lock said all the right things after being drafted in terms of being eager to get to work, being willing to do whatever it takes, etc. I would say this will get sorted out quickly here and Lock will come into camp ready to compete for the backup spot with Brett Rypien. If not, well, I guess the fake Brock Osweiler vibe I get from him might be showing before he even takes a meaningful snap in the NFL.
