50. Xavien Howard<\/h3>\n
Howard is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. The Miami star knew his value and decided that his franchise should pay him more money. One of the most noteworthy contract holdouts in recent memory began in 2021. Howard refused to play for the team because they didn’t appreciate him. This was a clever strategy to place pressure on his team (via NFL.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n Not every franchise bows to its players’ demands. In the end, it depends on their age, profile, and intrinsic value. However, Howard didn’t burn all the bridges. He returned to the preseason training camp because he didn’t want the team to fine him. Finally, he agreed on a new extension with the team that made him the NFL’s highest paid cornerback. It’s safe to say that it all worked out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Durant rocked the NBA when he abandoned the Thunder for the Warriors. He instantly became one of the most hated players in basketball after quitting the team. The worst part was that Golden State defeated Oklahoma in the conference finals. This enraged Thunder fans because they felt their team was building something special. But Durant broke their hearts (via The Ringer<\/a>).<\/p>\n Conventional contract holdouts see players refuse to perform their duties. To be fair, Durant never violated the terms of his contract. But he refused to sign up for another couple of years because he wanted bigger things. Then he became a two-time NBA champion in one of the league’s greatest teams. In hindsight, it’s safe to say that he made the right decision.<\/p>\n Here is a clear example of when an athlete overestimates their value. Cejudo was an Olympic gold medalist as well as a two-weight UFC champion. However, he was never a massive draw in terms of fan appeal. After he defeated Dominick Cruz in 2020, he instantly retired. This came out of nowhere but then he began talking about super fights in the ensuing press conference.<\/p>\n It instantly became clear that this was a tactic to demand more money. But the UFC refused to play ball and put their former champion on ice. They didn’t meet his financial demands and he sat out for over two years. It was one of the least constructive contract holdouts ever. Dana White didn’t appreciate Cejudo’s attempt to extort the organization (via Sportskeeda<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most electrifying players on the planet, Salah is a Liverpool icon. But he’s also involved in one of the most eyecatching contract holdouts in recent years. The Egyptian’s controversial agent is demanding more money for his client. Liverpool maintains a tight wage structure and refuses to break it for any player. This puts both parties in a tricky position.<\/p>\n There’s no doubt that Salah could make more money elsewhere. But he’s comfortable in the city and plays in a team that revolves around him. He may not receive the same treatment and comfort in another environment. Meanwhile, Liverpool knows that it’s a bad look to lose one of their top stars because they won’t pay him. Who will blink first? (via TeamTalk<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most contract holdouts see players go on strike and refuse to fulfill their duties. However, Murray is in a very different position. Some analysts are calling this a soft contract holdout because he’s doing his job. But there’s no doubt that there is unrest behind the scenes. The Arizona Cardinals want to keep their franchise quarterback but Murray is demanding outrageous money.<\/p>\n Murray is in the fifth year of his rookie contract and wants to maximize his earnings. 2023 will be interesting because many teams will want a new quarterback. The Cardinals activated the option to extend for a year but the question remains if he’s good enough to justify paying. Murray is playing for his future like never before because he must prove his value (via Pro Football Network<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes players don’t like where they’re living. That was the situation for Bure who wanted to leave Vancouver in 1998. He made good money with the Canucks as they paid him a reported eight million dollars per year. However, he felt unhappy in the city and wanted to move south to the United States. Then he refused to play for the team and sat out as he tried to force a trade.<\/p>\n G.M. Brian Burke refused to indulge his wantaway star for several months. But then he broke and traded the Russian to Florida. Bure had a poor first season with the Panthers but had a couple of good years after that. He also played well for the Rangers after. In the end, he patched up his relationship with the Canucks as they retired his number (via CBC Sports<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Masvidal became a global superstar in 2019 after he knocked out Ben Askren. His flying knee caused the quickest KO in UFC history. Meanwhile, Masvidal’s persona and image helped him to capture the love of fans. Even though he never won a title he was one of the company’s biggest draws. This was more important than winning fights because it brought money to the promotion.<\/p>\n But Masvidal wanted to see more zeros at the end of his paycheck. He demanded more from the notoriously tight-fisted UFC. They reacted in stubborn defiance but in the end, he got what he wanted. After begging the UFC to release him, he ended up with the contract he wanted. Somehow, he received the third-biggest deal in the promotion’s history (via Marca<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watt is one of the top defensive players in recent NFL history. If it wasn’t for Aaron Donald, Watt would be out on his own. He turns the Pittsburgh Steelers into a different beast when he’s on the field. But like all of the best players, he expected his franchise to pay him well. Usually, contract holdouts arise when there is a dispute between both parties.<\/p>\n The linebacker engaged in a soft holdout where he attended preseason practices. But he only participated in individual routines and did his work. In the end, Pittsburgh realized that it was stupid to risk losing him. They handed him a massive $112 million contract with a massive signing bonus (via USA Today Sports<\/a>). They knew their fans would revolt if they let him go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fury is arguably the greatest heavyweight boxer of the modern era. He disappointed fans when he refused to face his British rival, Anthony Joshua in 2021. It appeared as though they agreed on a deal to fight but it never materialized. One of the main reasons was that Fury refused to sign the contract. He wanted Joshua’s team to secure a bank guarantee that the money was available (via Mirror<\/a>).<\/p>\n This never arrived so Fury walked away from the negotiating table. This was a potential $250 million mega-fight but Fury didn’t care. Boxing contract holdouts aren’t like other sports because the athletes have more control over their destinies. In the end, fans suffered because they didn’t get to see one of the biggest potential fights ever. It’s a shame but that’s the nature of boxing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technically this wasn’t a contract holdout in the traditional sense, but it was a massive story. Brady was synonymous with the Patriots for two decades. But he maintained a tense working relationship with head coach Bill Belichick. The pair treated each other with cold professionalism but didn’t have a close bond. Then Brady rocked the world when he refused to sign a new deal.<\/p>\n Instead, he opted to become a free agent and pursue a fresh start. It was a shock because nobody expected him to leave the Patriots after so long. Finally, he joined the Buccaneers and won another Super Bowl. It was a massive moment for his career because he broke many records and made a lot of money. Brady proved that he could do it without his former coach too (via AS<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Few women incite as much fear as Cyborg. The Brazilian MMA fighter is one of the most dominant female athletes ever. Her imposing physique and ferocious skills made her a ruthless opponent. In 2o18, she lost a title fight against Amanda Nunes after her fellow Brazilian knocked her out. It was a changing of the guard moment but fans wanted to see the rematch (via MMA Fighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n However, they never got it because Cyborg left the UFC. The promotion failed to build a featherweight division around her during her tenure as champion. She also had a poor working relationship with UFC president Dana White. In the end, she decided to test the waters and make as much money as possible. Cyborg signed a new deal with Bellator and killed off hopes of a Nunes rematch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jones had a productive six years with the Arizona Cardinals. But a dispute in 2022 resulted in one of the franchise’s most notable contract holdouts. In short, Jones wanted more money but the Cardinals didn’t want to pay him. It’s a story as old as time and it ended with the player departing for pastures new. Arizona felt conscious about their salary cap and didn’t want to blow it on the veteran pass-rusher.<\/p>\n The Cardinals opted to move him on after signing J.J. Watt and DeAndre Hopkins to big contracts. Las Vegas picked up Jones on a three-year deal worth $51 million. It was a massive amount of money and it’s clear why Arizona didn’t want to commit. But Jones got his way in the end and moved to a new city. He didn’t complain about leaving Phoenix for the city of sin (via Bleacher Report<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the face of it, Larmar’s situation wasn’t out of the ordinary. There were many contract holdouts in the nineties and he wanted more money. Many stars earned millions of dollars but he didn’t crack seven figures. Furthermore, he was tired of life in Chicago and wanted a fresh start. But he had a phenomenal record of never missing an NHL game in his career.<\/p>\n Larmar went 884 games in a row before he failed to appear on the ice. It’s a shame because he never allowed injuries to stop him. In the end, it was money that prevented him from breaking the overall record. However, it ended well for him because he wound up with the Rangers. That’s where he won the Stanley Cup for the first time so he made the right choice (via Fansided<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crawford is one of the top boxers of his generation and a former pound-for-pound king. However, he suffered because his promoter Top Rank made life difficult for him. They affected his legacy because they refused to sanction a clash with his rival, Errol Spence Jr. Crawford refused to sign a new deal with the promotion but things became even more twisted.<\/p>\n Next Crawford sued them after accusing Bob Arum of racial bias. It was an extremely messy scenario that tarnished the sport of boxing. But Crawford felt justified because he alleged that they failed to represent him properly. It also brought the boxing promoters into focus because athletes realized that they had more power. Crawford sought over $10,0000000 in compensation (via Boxing Scene<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gerrard is one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players. The midfielder came through the academy and became the first team’s captain. He provided a stream of iconic moments for the club. But he also attracted the eyes of other teams because of his brilliance. Meanwhile, Liverpool didn’t have the roster to compete with the best in the league. Nor did they have as much money.<\/p>\n In 2005, fans burned Gerrard’s shirt because they thought he was going to join Chelsea. Jose Mourinho made no secret of the fact that he wanted the Liverpool star. In the end, after one of the most dramatic contract holdouts in Premier League history, he signed a new deal. Gerrard never played for another English club but joined the L.A. Galaxy at the tail-end of his career (via TalkSport<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2020, Adams had a major dispute with the New York Jets. He wanted more money and he didn’t think that the franchise appreciated him. One of the nastiest contract holdouts of the year ensued and they traded him to the Seahawks. Seattle desperately wanted to recreate the Legion of Boom and thought that he was a good fit. They made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Jets received multiple draft picks from Seattle. This pleased them because it enabled them to rebuild their team over the next few years. Adams earned a fortune but the Seahawks didn’t emerge as winners. That’s because he missed many games and failed to make an impact when he appeared. It proved that the Jets made the right call (via USA Today<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Harrison was an Olympic judoka who unleashed carnage upon her opponents. Then she moved to MMA and took her violence to the next level. She became an elite fighter with the PFL and won millions of dollars. However, she came to the end of her deal with the promotion. This created one of the most interesting contract holdouts in the sport (via Marca)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Suitors included the UFC and Bellator because they had big opponents for her. The likes of Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg made sense as match-ups. Fans hoped she’d move because she reached her ceiling with the PFL. But there was a major anticlimax when she inked a new contract. It’s good for her because she makes lots of money and that’s what fighting is about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Messier had an excellent career but he was no stranger to NHL contract holdouts. In 1991, he had his first massive spat with the Edmonton Oilers. Two years remained on his deal but he refused to play unless they gave him a lucrative payrise. Instead, the Oilers offloaded him to the Rangers in a major trade. Messier won a Stanley Cup with the franchise and had a great time.<\/p>\n Then he incited the wrath of fans by demanding that the franchise double his salary. It apepared as though they were ready to show him the door. But this time he got what he wanted after he sat out until January. They handed him a new deal and he got on with his career. Players gamble in this position because it depends on their value to the team (via Grantland<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mbappe is one of the most exciting young players on the planet. PSG spent a fortune when they bought him Monaco. He helped transform them into a European powerhouse and won the World Cup with France. However, he refused to extend his time in Paris. This worried his club because they spend over a hundred million dollars. Meanwhile, his image was worth an incalculable amount of money.<\/p>\n Real Madrid kept a keen eye on the situation because they wanted to lure him to Spain. Finally, in 2022 it appeared as though they secured his services. Despite PSG desperately offering record figures to keep him, Mbappe wanted to leave. Even more dramatically, he left as a free agent so the team wouldn’t earn a single cent. It’s a massive blow for the oil-rich club (via Daily Mail<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s never a good look when a champion leaves a fight promotion. That’s because they can’t claim to have the best athlete in the world anymore. However, the UFC found themselves in this situation with Penn after he defeated Matt Hughes. It was a major shock when he submitted the former champion. But an even bigger one when he signed with K-1 to kickbox in Japan.<\/p>\n Then the UFC immediately stripped him because they said that it was the same as vacating his title. Penn sued the promotion because he cited the Ali act. In the end, he fought several times in Japan before returning to the UFC. It was one of the most dramatic contract holdouts in MMA history. Penn’s legacy also impacted other fighters becuase it set a precedent for the UFC (via Sherdog<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A player must perform well until they secure the biggest contract of their life<\/a>. Luckily, that was the case for Johnson. He was brilliant for the Titans before 2011. Then he wanted more money and had a dispute with the front office. The big question was who would blink first? In the end, Tennessee backed down after he made it clear he was ready to sit out.<\/p>\n They handed him a massive contract<\/a> worth over $50 million. But the problem was that he never justified the terms of that deal. Johnson’s productivity went into severe decline and the Titans came off as losers<\/a>. That’s always the risk in football and it’s the reason why teams resist overpaying their stars. Sometimes the gamble pays off but not in Johnson’s case (via Athlon Sports<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Jaguars overpaid their wide receiver, Christian Kirk, in 2022. Then a bunch of other wideouts sat up because they realized they could force their teams to give them more money. Nobody can blame athletes for trying to maximize their value because sporting careers<\/a> are very short. However, Twitter didn’t react kindly to Brown when he sat out of the Titans’ offseason activities.<\/p>\n They issued death threats and called him a bad teammate<\/a>. Brown was just one of several stars involved in contract holdouts but they didn’t care. Of course, this didn’t encourage him to stick with the franchise<\/a> either. Why should he show loyalty to a team when the fans openly hate<\/a> him? Brown knows that a single injury could damage his career earnings so he must milk it (via NBC Sports<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Howard knew his value before the 1994 NBA Draft<\/a>. That’s why he held the Wizards to ransom. He was a member of Michigan’s iconic ‘Fab Five’ and attracted national attention before he even played in the NBA. They never won an NCAA title but they were a brilliant team. That’s why Howard held out and demanded<\/a> that Washington pay him massive money.<\/p>\n The franchise bowed down and gave him a huge rookie contract. Then, they renegotiated and made him the first<\/a> $100 million player in NBA history. That’s right, he secured that deal before Michael Jordan<\/a>. Howard was the only Fab Five member to win an NBA Championship<\/a>. He secured two rings during his time in the league. Now he’s a highly-rated coach (via Sportscasting<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Diaz is one of the UFC’s biggest stars. The Stockton native handed Conor McGregor his first defeat<\/a> in the promotion. However, he has maintained a tense relationship with the promotion. He reached the final fight of his deal but the UFC refused to hand him an easy match-up. First, they tried to feed him to rising prospect Khamzat Chimaev to increase his profile.<\/p>\n They didn’t want Diaz to maximize his earning<\/a> power by winning in his final fight. This impasse rumbled on and on, frustrating Diaz and his team. It remains to be seen what happens next<\/a> for the Californian. But it’s a shame that he’s on the shelf like this. Fans want to see great fighters<\/a> in action but money makes the world go around. The UFC is conscious of this (via SB Nation<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bizarrely, Gilbert is the uncle of Darrelle Revis, who also features on this list. Maybe he influenced his nephew because Gilbert had no hesitation in doing the right thing for his career. The Redskins slapped him with the franchise tag in 1997. This infuriated him because he wanted to maximize his earnings and that wasn’t possible. That’s why he sat out for the season.<\/p>\n In 1998, Washington admitted defeat and traded him to Carolina. But the problem was that Gilbert’s career went into decline<\/a>. He made his money so it was a success from that standpoint. It’s just a shame that he lost<\/a> a year of his prime because the Redskins didn’t want to meet his value. The Panthers would argue he wasn’t worth it anyway because of his performances (via Fansided<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes a player is conspicuous because they aren’t on the field. Smith proved this point because he refused to perform his duties for the Cowboys at the start of the 1993 season. The running back<\/a> was one of the team’s most dangerous attacking threats but Jerry Jones didn’t want to pay him. This created tension between the player and the owner (via NBC Sports<\/a>).<\/p>\n Smith wanted quarterback money but Jones refused to sanction that. He missed the entire summer program before skipping the first two games of the season. Finally, both parties<\/a> reached a compromise. Smith became the highest-paid running back of all time but he didn’t get the QB deal he desired. In the end, it’s probably what he deserved based on the market.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Revis was one of the Jets’ best players in 2010 but he drove his new head coach crazy. He engaged in one of the most dramatic contract holdouts of the decade because Woody Johnson wouldn’t pay him. Revis shrugged his shoulders and was happy to sit out. The new season edged closer but Revis didn’t care and missed the offseason training schedule.<\/p>\n In the end, Ryan forced the issue because he didn’t want to lose the cornerback. He even drove to Johnson’s house because he wanted to make it clear that this was a massive deal. Finally, they made the new contract happen and Revis signed up. They even made it to the AFC title game that season. It’s safe to say that the extension was a success because Revis was brilliant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2010, Arsenal offered Gallas a two-year extension to his deal. However, the French international snubbed their deal because they didn’t offer him a wage increase. This shocked the club because they broke their standard one-deal extension policy for over-30 players. Gallas didn’t appreciate this and rejected it. Eventually, he departed and joined their rivals, the Spurs.<\/p>\n This was remarkable because these teams are intense rivals. Meanwhile, Gallas was the club captain at the time. After one of the team’s biggest contract holdouts, he left under a cloud. Gallas broke all of the bridges with the club and the fans hated him. It didn’t matter that he served<\/a> them faithfully before this. He broke an unwritten rule that no player should ever do (via The Mirror<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bell was a moron with a lot of talent. He tried to hold the Steelers to ransom in 2018 but it turned out badly<\/a> for him. He didn’t count on James Conner stepping up and performing well for the franchise. In the end, Pittsburgh shrugged its collective shoulders and allowed him to sit out. Bell missed an entire year of football in his prime because he overvalued himself (via Bleacher Report<\/a>).<\/p>\n Finally, he escaped to the New York Jets. But that was like leaving Purgatory and stepping into Hell. He was appalling for Gang Green and hated the coaching staff. Somehow he ended up playing for the Chiefs but couldn’t earn a starting place. Bell was excellent for Pittsburgh before it all went wrong. He counted his chickens before they hatched and lost almost $900,000 a week in the process.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s nothing new about contract holdouts. The only difference is how widely the media reports them. In 1977, Hannah was one of the Patriots’ most important offensive linesmen. After a distinguished career, he was voted into the Hall of Fame<\/a>. But it wasn’t always sunshine and roses for the player and the franchise. That season, he sat out for three games because of a dispute.<\/p>\n Eventually, New England acknowledged his value and offered him a lucrative extension. Hannah settled down and nothing more was said about it. He repaid the contract in style as he spent eight more seasons with the team. He even helped them to a Super Bowl<\/a> appearance. Hannah was one of the best players of his generation and the franchise knew it (via UPI<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chancellor’s situation proved that contract holdouts don’t always work in favor of the player. Remember, they stand to lose a lot of money if the franchise doesn’t blink. Some athletes can handle this because they know they’ll make it back quickly. But others aren’t in a financial position to absorb that loss. Chancellor found this out in 2014 because he didn’t get his way.<\/p>\n Seattle refused to restructure or offer him more money when he requested it. They were already in a tricky situation because they restructured Marshawn Lynch’s contract. Chancellor wasn’t in a position to bargain. Finally, after he missed the first two games of the season he came back. But he didn’t gain anything that he wanted – officially at least (via Washington Informer<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The UFC has a history of contract holdouts because they grossly underpay their fighters. Jones was one of their biggest stars but came with a lot of baggage. After vacating the 205 lb. title, he announced his move up to heavyweight<\/a>. Fans hoped<\/a> for a super fight between Jones and Francis Ngannou but the UFC disappointed them. They refused to meet Jones’s demands so he sat out.<\/p>\n There are two sides to this story. First, the UFC is infamously cheap and refuses to make their best athletes into big stars. They want brand ambassadors instead of global icons<\/a>. Meanwhile, Jones is a problematic individual. His doping record<\/a> and legal issues damage his leverage. It’s difficult to see him winning this war of numbers with the promotion (via SportsJoe<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/develop.sportscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hi-res-dfe458d79df9809a10a606714a6d3d6e_crop_north-scaled.jpg\")
