Terrance Knighton has been out of the NFL for almost a year, but the former defensive tackle still is looking out for his fellow football comrades.
In reaction to the NBA’s exciting offseason in which several players have received massive contracts, Knighton made his case that NFL players should receive a greater level of pay, and he used specific names to prove his point.
NFL makes billions a year. Time to get back to that negotiation table. And this time we need to stay strong and not budge. Make em Pay!!!

The eight-year NFL veteran made it clear he wasn’t totally bashing basketball players, but stuck to his opinion of which athletes should be earning the bigger paycheck.
And I'm not saying NBA players should make less. Just that NFL players should be making more

We have a feeling Knighton’s stance would be well received throughout the NFL.
