Reggie Wayne is a $450,000 grease ball

Reggie Wayne was a fourteen year pro when he joined the Patriots. There was a little hope that he would add depth to the Patriots receiving squad, and few thought he'd be more than that.

Belichick treated Wayne just like any other player. However, as the preseason training went on, Wayne quickly retired. Wasting the Patriots time and money. 

Wayne recently spoke about his time with the Patriots with Dave Birkett of freep.com 

“I went up to him and I said, ‘Hey, this is what it. I know got a signing bonus. I’ll give it back, no biggie … Bill Belichick told me to keep it. Told me to keep it. I’m like, ‘Hey, you ain’t got to bend my arm back twice.’ He told me to keep it. And that was love, man. And I always had respect for him. I’ve heard people and seen stuff that he’s done on camera of his respect for me, and maybe that was just his sign of appreciation. We had a lot of battles against that team, so he told me to keep it. We kept it in the bank. I appreciate it. Hey, the best job ever.”

Wayne getting paid is like a retail or fast food worker going through orientation and getting paid. It's a waste of time training the employee and if the company were to not pay the employee for the time they spent learning the company way, it would make the company look bad.

This was a free $450,000. Belichick is all to used to this, He ended up going through the same situation with Kenny Britt. Veterans and players who sign with New England, get a bonus and then realize the Patriots actually work. Too many don't want to work, they just want to jerk off and maybe play football.

The NFL should make it so signing bonuses don't get paid unless a player makes the 53 man roster. Players should also have a workout contract, where they agree to get paid X amount for each week of training and the preseason. Them let the contract and all bonus start once week one practice starts.

As for Reggie Wayne, many Patriots fans who had respect for the former colt, lost it after this stunt. This comment is why we will never forgive or forget. $450,000 is one player the Patriots could've signed. Reggie Wayne is slime.
