Has Kenny Moore Played His Last Game as a Colt?

...If Moore was an underpaid IT professional people would think differently about him pushing his employer for more money.

-I think the fact that he's under contract is the issue for people, not the money. I'm sure most fans can empathize with him seeing the explosion of money around the league and wanting in on it. Of course we all want more. That's not really the point, though.

-So that aside... Cutting him for not performing is also part of the agreed upon contract. Almost like they're paying for a standard of service and if that standard is not met, the relationship can be terminated.

-There's also a gamble from both parties in the form of guaranteed money. Both parties were comfortable enough that if Kenny Moore got into a car accident and never played a down, he would be still be paid $9m. And there are more guarantees along the way.

-The difference with the IT guy is that he's probably not under contract which drastically changes the employer/employee relationship. So he can push for more money because if he's unsatisfied, he can go to the competitor and get a job with them at any time. But if he's under contract, that employer can tell him to get fucked.

I love the dude being on the Colts and I think he's very important. Also, to keep it in perspective, he still hasn't done anything that violates his contract. He may just show up for work, continue to perform, and maybe the good will pays off for both sides. So far, this is just a discussion about the principle of an issue.
