Who was saying players dont take less money to play for a contender?

Shaun Phillips + Rarefied Air + Downtown Denver = Gold

I like the way they word it.

Shaun Phillips turned down what he said were more lucrative offers elsewhere...

Almost like they don't believe him

In a word, Bullshit.

Yeah, wonder who these offers came from.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

What if we offered more.

[MakoShark]

Could have been us.

Didn't Dielman turn down more money from Seattle to stay with the Chargers?

[Mister Hoarse]

I doubt it was us, unless he turned down an earlier offer from us, and had to settle for less when the offers dried up.

[Bolt-O]

If any other team offered Phillips a contract, it probably the Jets. They, and the donkeys, seem fascinated with the old talent on the Chargers.

Dielman took less over the life of the contract but the Chargers offered more over the first 3 years.

Time to singe another Dirty Diel

Dielman took less over the life of the contract but the Chargers offered more over the first 3 years.

And your point is? He still took less to stay with a contender (at the time). Call it a "home town discount" or loyalty or whatever. He had more money waiting on him in Seattle and he signed in SD.
