Antonio Brown wanted out of Pittsburgh. Then he wanted out of Oakland. He got what he wanted, both times.

Minkah Fitzpatrick wanted out of Miami. He got what he wanted.

Jalen Ramsey wants out of Jacksonville. He may get what he wants. Other great players, like Jamal Adams, may want out of where they currently are, and they may get it.

Do NFL players have control over their teams?

It's beginning to appear that NFL players are gaining more control of their careers. AB, Jalen Ramsey, Minkah Fitzpatrick all examples this season!

Not yet. NFL and team management still have ultimate control. Melvin Gordon is an example right now!

If you’re a star on the team then yes, especially so If you’re dramatic and a cancer in the locker room.

Yes, for now. The Zeke thing pissed me off, he had 2 years left on his contract and he got away with this stunt... now Gordon and others now will do the pay/trade crap.I'm hoping owners clamp down on this behavior... I don't believe the fans enjoy this nonsense.  Maybe next year I'll need to change my side though :)
