The Facts: As Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Logan Mankins and Vincent Jackson seek free agency or a cash settlement as their part of the Tom Brady lawsuit vs. the NFL, there is a sentiment of players who don’t appreciate the cash grab – or attempted cash grab. In fact, it didn’t take long for one player to pipe up. Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has chimed in on his personal Twitter account. “Sigh, and once again greed is the operative byword. Congrats Brees, Manning, Mankins, and Jackson for being 'that guy'. #douchebags,” Kluwe wrote.

Diehards Line:You have to wonder if there aren't a number of players sharing in Kluwe's sentiment. PFT's Mike Florio put a finer point on it when he wrote a short time ago: "So at a time when they’re supposed to be representing all players, what are Jackson and Mankins and Manning and Brees doing? They’re trying to cut their own deals. ..." It certainly appears the four are abusing their position as representatives of all other players in order to get something for themselves. And as Florio further noted, "Indeed, if the other 1,890 players knew that something may be in it for them, they would have signed up for the lawsuit, too. ..." Bottom line? The lawsuit needs to be settled or dropped before a collective bargaining agreement is reached. We know where Kluwe stands. It'll be interesting to see if others chime in. ... Stay tuned.
