Re: Walker on ESPN

Well! it's not only a different sport but also very different cap rules.
Let's not be naive, Troy will make his money the restructured salary allows
Jerry Jones to pay him in signing bonus and have a lower cap number instead
of salary and a higher cap number. One has to accept that Sports is a
business and an athelete will get paid what he/she is worth is no more no
less. Both Pitino & Gaston are displaying their inexperience by trying to
negotiate Walker's contract in the media, they should keep quite and try
hammer out a deal. If Gaston can't handle the money, he should sell the team
to somebody who can and get out of this business. - Mishra
