The Bald Eagle had a big job to do last season and he thought he'd make it more interesting by breaking his leg in training camp. No big deal.
When we hear the term "contract year" we know it means the season in question is a pivotal one for the player involved. For older players it often means proving that you still have what it takes to compete at a high level and earning your next short, lucrative deal. For younger players an expiring contract with an RFA status waiting at the end of it represents the opportunity to prove one's worth and return to the club that drafted you with a long term deal that might just be the biggest contract they will ever see.
