Cleveland Browns tight end
Kellen Winslow said during a radio appearance on Thursday that he thinks he has out-played his contract and that
he deserves a raise.
When I got hurt [in 2005], the contract got renegotiated, so some things changed, but I think I've proven these past two years that I'm one of the elite tight ends," Winslow said from the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
Although it's true that Winslow renegotiated his contract in 2005, frankly, the Browns seemed pretty generous at the time -- Winslow missed a full year after he got hurt riding a motorcycle, an activity his contract prohibited, and the Browns could have gone after more of his bonus money than they did.
Furthermore, Winslow is under contract for three more seasons, and he's scheduled to make a total of $13.25 million in those seasons. Although Winslow has developed into a very good tight end, it's hard to see where he has a lot of leverage here.
