Odds on NFL Player Holdouts   

With some of the NFL's teams starting minicamps and training camps and preseason a little more than a month away, grumblings have already begun on behalf of some the league's players about potential holdouts during preseason.

Titans DT Albert Haynesworth 3/1
Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs      2/1
Lions WR Roy Williams         10/1
Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin  5/1
Giants TE Jeremy Shockey    1/1
Dolphins DE Jason Taylor      2/1
Eagles CB Lito Sheppard     10/1
Rams RB Steven Jackson    15/1
Bears LB Brian Urlacher      15/1
Bucs QB Jeff Garcia              7/1

 



Additionally, some disgruntled stars have been talking about sitting out training camp for one reason or another.  Most notably this season complaints have come from Chad Johnson, Plaxico Burress and a few others.  The possibility for holdouts and trained player-front office relations during the preseason seems to be at an all time high as the summer rolls toward the start of the season.


That said, and with fan speculation growing at a fever pitch regarding whether or not their teams will see preseason strife, BetUS.com posted odds on which NFL player is most likely to hold out or sit out prior to the start of the NFL season.

"Passion for the NFL, teams, and players on the part of fans is always high," stated BetUS.com spokesman Reed Richards.  "What doesn't seem to be such a constant is a return of the adoration and respect on the part of players.  Fans are extremely intuitive when it comes to their favorite players and teams and they can sense when something is amiss.  As such, we saw it as our duty to provide them answers and relieve some of their speculative angst regarding any preseason blow-ups between players and their team's front office."

Analysts at BetUS.com posted the following odds on player who might sit-out or hold out:


Titans DT Albert Haynesworth                   3/1
Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs                          2/1
Lions WR Roy Williams                               10/1
Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin                      5/1
Giants TE Jeremy Shockey                        1/1
Dolphins DE Jason Taylor                          2/1
Eagles CB Lito Sheppard                            10/1
Rams RB Steven Jackson                           15/1
Bears LB Brian Urlacher                            15/1
Bucs QB Jeff Garcia                                    7/1
