Devin Hester and Bears Reach New 4-year Agreement
The Chicago Bears and kick returner Devin Hester have agreed to a new 4-yr contract; amending an existing football contract w/ 2 years remaining. If you’ve read this blog before, you know that this process of contract re-negotiating pisses me off. Hester was under contract for 2 more years; he was not a free agent, he was not in the last year of his deal – he had 2 YEARS left.
Kick returner Devin Hester has signed a new four-year contract with the Chicago Bears. The team announced the deal Sunday. Hester skipped the first two days of training camp because he wanted to renegotiate his contract, which had two years left. Hester returned to camp Friday, saying there was progress in the negotiations.
Devin Hester had only missed 2 days of camp, but the message was pretty clear… pay up, or I’ll sit out. It’s really too bad that the Bears would not call his bluff and make him sit. Hester’s situation is not new; many high profile NFL players have used their status as leverage against their teams.
With this issue now resolved, we can once again focus on the circus that is Brett Favre & the Green Bay Packers.
