 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video My apologies that it took me so long to make this video because I just had to sit back and reflect and Wonder what could have been And wonder what should have been I also tweeted it out, too. So I said man Said next year. He was supposed to be a Raven But that's of course not happening now, but nah, it's all good man Gotta give our young dudes a shot. So anyway, you ain't got no choice, but to but anyway Bobby Wagner 29 years old best lying back in the game. He got plenty of respect from Madden cuz they gave him a 99 They gave him a 99 overall matter So he got respect from them, but he didn't feel like he was getting the respect from his team from the Seahawks And I did read something a few days ago that said he said he wanted to he was gonna chop the training camp He wasn't gonna hold out anything, but he was gonna play it safe He wasn't gonna be putting his all in he wasn't gonna be putting himself in danger and risk of getting hurt or anything like that because He wanted to get paid He wanted to get paid he felt like he earned his contract and he has earned his contract and now he finally got His contract so now moving forward the this doesn't have to be one of those things That's hanging over the Seahawks and hanging over his head during the season He can just play ball now and he can play ball and give it his all and know that if Of course, we don't want that to happen, but know that if he gets hurt he got what 40 mil guaranteed Yeah 40.2 million guarantees So even if anything were to happen It'll still be straight financial wise and Again, this is why I When I used to think more on the fan side Like man, why is this guy holding out just show up show up to work. What are you doing? Why are you holding out? Why are you not participating in team activities? Why are you not being there for your boys for your team? What's wrong with you? That's what I used to think before But then as I started to understand the business side of football a lot more. Oh Yeah, you go ahead and hold out Hold out go get paid get your money Get it get get your guarantees get it all Because the NFL It doesn't just stand for national football league. It does that also stand for not for long It also stands for not for long because things can change like that like that and You could be at the top of your game And you could be coming to the end of your contract But then all of a sudden you take the wrong hit Take the wrong fall Something happens boom You lose out on millions that fast And it is I feel like with the NFL and it's with any sport too But with NFL, I feel like it's so much easier for those guys to lose money Then it is to earn money Because I mean guys can lose money in a matter of seconds Remember a couple of drafts ago was it 2015? I think it was 2015 NFL draft Um Larry me tonsil Larry me tonsil said to be I know Ray Ravens are probably gonna get him He said to be right one of the top offensive linemen taken off the board What happened somebody put out a video of him in a gas mask smoking And I mean he shouldn't have been doing it regardless But so because if he would have never been doing it and would have been part of team keep it clean Then he wouldn't even have to worry about a video like that. But anyway They put out that video of him smoking dropped He dropped to the end of the first round close to the end of the first round think to pick 20 something He would have been in the top five top 10 and he dropped to pick 20 something What was it a little bit before 27 because I can't see the dolphins haven't picked 20 something. Let's they trade it with somebody anyway He lost millions He lost millions Just like that But again back to what we were saying. It's it's so many different ways for these guys to lose money That's why I don't get mad at players when they hold out Now with with the Melvin Gordon. He's in the whole little dispute now Philip Rivers got involved too Phillip Rivers got involved too and Phillip Rivers did not help Melvin Gordon's case not one bit with what he said He said that we got a lot of guys they love to run the football and and he said we're gonna we go what we got Those weren't the exact words, but that's pretty much what he said. He said we go what we got we're gonna stick with what we got He said we love Melvin Gordon, but we're gonna stick with what we got and Yeah, Melvin Gordon saw it he tweeted out about it at all so I Me I don't I don't feel like um Like Melvin Gordon is worth this crazy amount of money but At the same time I I don't I'm not mad at him for holding out Because he wants to be paid he wants to be taken care of he put it out there himself He put his body out there on the line and just like but I know this is Bobby Wagner video, but still um These dudes they They earned a lot of money and a lot. I know a lot of people be like oh man Why the football players get paid so much they didn't pay to play a game He just put their bodies on they put their lives on the line every game every single game It's very physical it's a very physically demanding sport and they put it out there Every single even in practice Training camp walk-throughs all that stuff. They these dudes can get hurt at any second Any second and they could lose a lot of that money like we talked about earlier, but anyway Bobby Wagner great linebacker He earned it and he got it Seahawks just dishing out money this offseason, huh? Yeah, they torn it out there Took care of Russell Wilson Took care of Bobby They went and got a um Ziggy Ziggy Hansa See y'all they've been throwing it out there man So it's nice when they take care they own no It's nice when you take care your own when it's somebody that you drafted Somebody that you developed and you get to watch them grow and watch them become one of the best in the league One on offense and one on defensive side Russell Wilson and other Bobby Wagner to the best in the league to a the best in the league So this is a good move by the Seahawks Congrats to Seahawks fans to the 12th man shout out to y'all and Hey enjoy Bobby Big money big money Bobby. That's what you start calling them big money Bobby So anyway like Bobby Wagner won't be with Seattle I'm out
