Holding out and reporting to camp late have never helped

a career yet. Player may have signed for more money, or not, but it NEVER helps the overall career on the field.

Has made over $39 million in signings. This year he totals two tackles. Don’t think that can relate to holding out

The opposite career track of his bud Grady Jarrett. Paid tremendously for his potential with little payoff for ownership. I wish Mr. Beasley the best, and hope he has an outstanding financial advisor.

But he reported late with some undisclosed conditioning problem or injury and could not play. Not sure what is going on, but I wish him the best!

He seemed to give up when......

he was here in Atlanta with the Falcons. After leading the NFL in sacks his 2nd year he seemed distracted and indifferent to his job. There must be something going on behind the scenes with him.

What's going on surely isn't behind the scenes, but a contract that pays $9 mil, and showing no interest by showing up to camp late, and not performing to his elite abilities, I would personally believe that as it is, is rather obscene. I think that if Vic's contract wasn't of his liking, the proper thing he should have done, was to have gotten everything cleared up, or retired until a better offer come along. I mean isn't that what players do when they don't get the sort of contract their after long into their career. I just think that deciding to accept what's being offer, and never fully engaging to the best of his ability isn't the right thing to do. I just can't imagine being offered a job that would be paying me $9 mil a year, and not do the job to the very best of my ability. But this is what happens these days with grossly overpaid athletes in today's world of sports. It is rather embarrassing to say the least, and it's mostly why I get the sports entertainment that I'll ever need from college sports, where the games are played mostly bc of team/player pride. College sports is my #1, and has been for a very long time!!!

Always liked Beasley. Maybe my team will be smart and pick him up .We need help on defense real bad Of course my team needs a new owner real bad. Need a hint as to my team; Look up the former MNF announcer who used to sing "Turn Out the Lights The Party's Over....."

This could well be a case of: I am already a very rich man

from playing this violent game. Subconsciously, or consciously, his body may be telling him, we don't need to be doing this anymore. If that is the case, I wish, just once, a player would be truthful and come out and say so. Nobody would condemn them.
Andrew Luck probably has come closer than anyone to doing exactly that. I admire him for it, although I did not admire his timing of it.
