In MLB, it's one thing, but in the NFL it's completely different. Almost none of the money is guarenteed, and your life is almost guarenteed to be shortened by playing professionally. Factor in the pain week in and week out, and the little fact that it is just taking money away from the owners, and it doesn't seem that strange.
Meanwhile, it's bullshit if he thinks he should be paid more than players drafted above him, especially Taylor who was the best defensive player in the draft.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
