Javon Walker is apparently not coming to training camp, big surprise there (smell that sarcasm?). Let's see some of the parts of the article:
"I have several concerns," Rosenhaus said. "One is equity. I don't feel that it's fair that Javon should play at that number ($515,000). " It's perfectly fine that Javon won't honor his contract though, that's equitable.
"the way things have developed there are just not positive. Everything that's gone on with Brett Favre and the team's really lack of flexibility, it's not a good situation." Oh, so it's Brett's fault now that you are advising your client to not play? Brilliant PR move Rosenholdout. Teams lack of flexability? It's called no cap room, moron, plus we'll just ignore the fact that Javon is under contract.
"We went through this with Mike McKenzie and he ultimately was traded and, I mean, I guess we're on the same path happening here. It's a shame." Yeah, we did, see how that worked out? MM still has no new deal after being traded, you advised him not to report for practices with the Saints and now he's such damaged goods, people don't want him and know they cannot rely on him. Brilliant! The only shame is that JW is listening to you.
"It's OK for Tom Cruise to make $50 million a movie? But a guy who risks his life can't get paid a decent wage? B.S. I'm not standing for it." Well, let's see, Tom Cruise is an international superstar and has a long proven track record of success. Also, if TC signs a contract to do a movie, he is not bailing out midway through demanding more money. Risks his life? You representing soldiers in the armed forces or police officers now? How many people have died playing NFL? Get a grip you loser. All you care about is the power you wield over the NFL and how much $ you can make. Javon's only recieved over $4 million already in just salary and bonus alone over the last 3 years. But that's BS and you won't stand for that cause you think you are the 2nd coming of Norma Rae Webster.

Your comments are thought provoking, inciteful, and well, a little sassy.
I think we should have a podcast on the NFL Labor Agreement and the inequities of the NFL players' "contracts."
And when I said "inciteful" I meant "insightful." Sheesh.
PMM,
You are quite correct. The Packers have changed quite a bit on the team. The Packers are using the same stance they have for many years: They will not renegotiate contracts until there is a year left. Yet somehow this is a surprise to Rosenholdout. He only dealt with this last year with MM. That's just willfull ignorance by Rosenholdout.
