Players want the safety....they are going to get the extra rules.

The game is pretty violent and physical, but that allows them to demand a premium in pay during their career. Start cutting their pay accordingly and this problem goes away; you can start with Flacco's ridiculous salary.

I love me some t rich, but a rb just isn't a position that you spend a top 3 pick on and expect to get instantly better as a team.
