1) Let him sit. If you don't report, you don't get paid. Let him sit. But now his agent will claim that he tried to report to camp (his little "independent" workout and subsequent dog and pony show for the media) but he was dismissed by Reid.

2) Drewell Rosenowens negotiated/signed a seven year/49 million dollar contract. Unfortunately, the length of the contract is no longer meaningful...it's just a way for the teams to budget the money...and the player/agent only looks at the gross dollar amount and the guaranteed money. Someone else got more money after you? Too bad...live with your deal.

At least one front-line receiver will become available before the start of the regular season. It may not be someone of TO's caliber, but the Eagles can fill the position with a good player.

Similar attitude towards the Cedric Benson holdout. The Bears have made a realistic offer. If he doesn't accept it, let him sit out the year. There's bound to be another decent running back available before the regular season gets underway.
