He reduced his 2007 salary to $3 million ($500,000 bonus for being on the roster for the first game and a $2.5 million base salary), plus an additional $2 million in performance-based incentives.

In three years - he's performed well for them. A 16-0 regular season where he broke a slew of NFL records in year 1. An 11-5 season despite Tom Brady getting hurt in the first quarter of week 1 in year 2. An explosive offense with Matt Cassell. Year 3 he led the NFL in touchdown catches yet again despite playing through reported back injuries early in the season and with a seperated shoulder late in the season.

He's very bitter that his past financial gestures to the Patriots benefit - and his production for them since he got there isn't being rewarded.

But after week 1, Doug? Really?
That's not going to endear himself to many people. He should just keep his mouth shut and be the player he can be. If he does that there should be some sort of pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
You just can't bitch and moan after the first week.
