Devin Hester Shows for OTAs

by Adam T on May 23, 2008 2:55 PM CDT

Devin Hester wants a new contract and will get one, but even he cannot miss out on this opportunity afforded to him with the surgery to Mark Bradley and he has shown up on OTAs on Wednesday. I was not aware of this, but apparently Bradley was anointed the #2 receiver next to Marty Booker. With Hester likely filling the slot. With Bradley having surgery the entire backend of the Bears receiving corp opens up to competition. Hester would be foolish to not get into the swing of things and win that spot. His value to this team and his leverage on contracts would both go up should he grab the #2 spot.

The decline of Devin

Deon Sanders’ influence, Harris, Urlacher, and Briggs along with agents like Rosen%^$#. The nice, soft-spoken, kid we knew as “The Windy City Flyer” is becoming an overpaid, celbrity-me, jerk like the rest of the money grabbing, me-first, team-last players that are trying to re-neg on the contracts they signed.
Teams pay a player, a player has some success, then all of a sudden they decide the Team that gave them a chance is evil and has ripped them off. If a team didn’t train them, scheme to get them success in games, and give them their first chance, these guys would all be working pay check to pay check and failing.
Devin. You are ridiculous. I hope you rue your decision to become an selfish arse like the rest of them. C-YA!

Are you retarded?

Do you have friends or family that play football. They take an absolute beating. They have to get paid while they can, otherwise a team is quick to let them go once they are ‘washed-up.’
While I don’t so much condone the action of sitting out camps, understand what’s at stake for these guys. If he gets hurt at camp, the team isn’t going to pay him for his ‘potential contributions.’ The fact is he’s one of the guys taking the risk at camp to get paid.
