Samuel wants out of San Fran because he wants to get paid. Murray wants to get paid early in Arizona also.

Receiver Deebo Samuel was drafted in the second round of 2019. He signed a rookie contract of just under five million dollars. Quarterback Kyler Murray was drafted first over all that same year. He signed a rookie contract of just under thirty-six million dollars. Neither man has completed their rookie deal and both men want new contracts.

It's not unusual for players to extend their contract during their final year after they played a few games. However, players are starting to ask for money before their final year if their rookie contract is up. On top of that players are asking for more and more money. And we are seeing twenty to twenty-five percent of a team's salary cap go to individual players. 

There are fifty three players on a roster, not including practice squad guys. The NFL Salary cap is two hundred eight million dollars. Sixteen out of the top twenty-one players are quarterbacks. The top twenty-one players make a minimum of twenty-five million dollars a season. With the top six guys making twenty to twenty-five percent of the salary cap.

Aaron Rodgers, the guy who was against the bottom tiered players in the league getting a raise in the last CBA, is making fifty million dollars a season after a contract negotiation. The money both Murray and Samuel are making is chunp change compared to the names on the list, however neither Murray or Samuel has accomplished anything.

Teams want to win but it's hard to sign good players when one player is making so much money. For some teams, they're paying two people up to half the team's salary cap. Meaning the team needs those two players to carry lesser players. If a player is eating all the salary cap, one cannot argue who's the team putting around them.

When players are demanding their payday before their rookie contract expires, it's bad for business. And it's bad for the sport. The NFL has to crack down on this and on the over priced salaries before the salary cap is tossed. There are baseball teams that without a salary cap, will never make the playoffs and in football, team's like Jacksonville will never reach the playoffs without a salary cap. It's time for the rules committee to act
