Who cares if he was docked pay, he makes millions, he can afford it.

Even if this was true (which it isn't), it's an awful argument.

The deal for the former South Carolina star is essentially for five years and could be worth up to $32 million total, including $13.3 million in guaranteed money.

There isn't such a thing as a top 10 NFL first round pick who doesn't "make millions." At least not in well over a decade.

Anyway, he could have handled it better too. Obviously family is important but if you want to be in the NFL you have to make sacrifices. If being at the game was important to him he could have left from Wed-Sat, flown in for the game Sunday and the Flown out afterwards Sunday night and attended the Monday funeral.

And even if he doesn't want to do something like that, thats fine, but he shouldn't be complaining to the media about not receiving a measly game check for a game he skipped when he is already struggling to keep a roster spot.
