Rex Ryan, a former NFL coach, was sad to see Count Thomas injured on Sunday. But, he said on ESPN Get up Monday morning, he still did not support Thomas's previous operation – and his subsequent move Sunday – for a new contract.
"It's a football affair and nothing is guaranteed to you as a player, coach or anyone else," Ryan said. "They do not have to give you money. They must not give you a long term contract. It's a shame, but when you put your name on this contract, you have to play and play for this contract. "
Ryan – a coach who has benefited from the status quo as a coach – simply advocates keeping things the way they are. And his argument seems to ignore the fact that Thomas – and Le'Veon Bell – use their influence as star players to try to change the status quo.
As Emmanuel Acho has pointed out (with a number of other current and past players), that's exactly why Thomas held up early in the year – he knew that It was very possible for him to get hurt and therefore not get paid.
"Nobody owes you anything in this league," said Ryan – which is correct. Unless you renegotiate your contract to do it legally.
