Opposing defenses have had to deal with this for years but the Bears (and most importantly, Bear fan) may soon see #23 break away if they don't pay the man.
“I can’t go out and play this year making $445,000. Come on, man.” - Devin Hester.
This story practically writes itself. I don't want to call the guy a one-trick pony but there's a reason he plays DB and not receiver. I haven't seen hands this bad since my last trip to Vegas. Devin Hester is one of the most electrifying athletes I've seen but soon enough, coaches will learn to just kick the ball out of bounds and take their chances with Rex and Kyle (are you listening Shanahan?).
I gotta say, this is a good move for Hester. His value will never be higher. When you're in the NFL, you need to get your money while you can. It's a brutal sport. If you are injured, you will be paid for that season but your contract is not guaranteed after that. A team can cut you at any time and not have to pay you a dime. Teams always say the NFL is a business. They treat it that way so why shouldn't the players whose livelihoods are at stake?
