Mike, i read in on Philly.com a revealing article on Lito's contract and Samuel's contract.
On reading it i do not think Lito has an argument.
Lito when he AGREED to and signed his contract extension got an 8.7 million dollar signing bonus.
His contract is good for 30 million dollars if completed.
Now here is the KEY point.
Lito in signing his contract extension and immediately getting 8.7 million dollars did so RATHER than risk NOT signing and having a career destroying to career damaging injury.
He weighed the risk/reward and chose "Play it Safe" sign.
OTH, Asante Samuel was offered an extended contract from Patriots last year and REFUSED to sign.
If he had had a serious knee injury during last season---Bad Luck, sonny, bye,bye.You see Asante, you got NO contract.
But Asante saw the Risk and , said, i will take on the risk.
This is what it is ALL about.
Lito now wants to be paid what he would have been paid if he had taken Asante's risk!!!!
i support the Eagles Management on this.Max
