Agent for Peyton Hillis Advised Him Not to Play Sick --
Thu Oct 6, 2011 --from FFMastermind.comAP reports fearing Cleveland Browns RB Peyton Hillis was weakened from strep throat and could risk injury, his agent advised the Browns' bruising back not to play on Sept. 25 against Miami. Hillis left Browns Stadium about two hours before kickoff, a decision that has led to speculation he was upset over ongoing negotiations with the club on a contract extension. However, agent Kennard McGuire said that that Hillis was too sick to play, and that he could have jeopardized his career if he played at less than 100 percent. "I would give him the same advice to him or any of my clients as if he were my son," McGuire said in a phone interview. "The game is physical enough, and the way Peyton plays the game, he needs all the elements of his physical game. Him being sick, and the level of his sickness, is the equivalent of being injured. "Not only could he have hurt himself but he could have hurt his team. Nobody embodies Cleveland like Peyton Hillis. If anyone wants to point a finger, point it at me." McGuire said Hillis, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season with Cleveland, has been affected by contract talks with the club. "He's human, of course it's on his mind," said McGuire, adding he has been in "constant contact" with the Browns. "Would it affect him being a pro? No. Does he feel underappreciated? Yes. He's human. We all in life have a perceived value of our worth now, and he doesn't take for granted what he's earning now. But we do believe that he's deserving of something that mirrors his production of last year."

I read today that Kennard was the third different agent that Hillis has had this season. Is that possible? There's little doubt that Hillis deserves a pay raise but he's not going to get a mega-deal like CJ just pulled in and he's under contract right now.
 
Under contract? Well that settles it. Never has any player in NFL history ever gone back on a contract deal. They never hold out while having time left on the contract asking for more money. LOL
 
Hillis might deserve some more money, but his situation is totally differnet than CJ's in my opinion, and he is going after this the wrong way.
 
Yep! He's going to get himself killed if he turns his team against him. You're in season so play ball. They'll tag him next year if he puts up a big stink and he'll be stuck.
 
**** let him go. Jax has some money left over to sign him. He'd be a good addition and give us a 2 headed monster at the RB position.
