The thing is I don't think he has used it. At least from people I've talked too Foles isn't even an issue on this in terms of keeping him or not at that time. Thats just baseless speculation like everyone saying the Eagles want to trade him or other stuff that hasn't been confirmed yet. My point was like Watson Wentz may have been promised stuff that never happened. This happens a lot.I mean, all I'm really saying is timing matters. Yes, if he extended based on promises that were not kept, he has a legit gripe. The original post said Wentz had a legit gripe based on the Nick Foles treatment. I disagree with that. Can we say Foles should have been traded a year earlier or something? Sure, although Wentz was hurt to start that season so that's not a great take for a team coming right off the 2017 the Eagles had. But Wentz can't use that as to why he wants out.
To give another example many here know I follow Wrestling pretty closely and have a few sources there. There's numerous times especially in WWE/F with Vince where Talent is promised "if they sign this contract for X amount of $$$$" they will get this this and that. Recent example is they just resigned a guy named AJ Styles in 2019 Dec or so. AJ's good friends Luke Gallows (Played Imposter Kane in WWE and was in WWE before being released and going to NJPW) and Karl Anderson got resigned only because AJ wouldn't if they weren't part of the deal. They were promised this big run as a group. The Pandemic hit and both Ander/Gallows were released despite the fact there were numerous other that should've been before them making way more money. Styles felt backstabbed and he also didn't get promised other things. He talked about this on his twitch stream before WWE took every wrestlers social media streams down (Claiming intellectual propter and any money made was technically he companies) but has remained professional about stuff. He's just one of many examples of companies lying to talent/employees.
I've been on the receiving end of that as well. Promised this or that "I just needed to be patient or hang in there" and when I brought it up they ran around the bush when the time came. only to find out later they had no intentions of doing anything. Unfortunately owners/companies feel we are the low men on the totem poll and we should just shut up and accept what we get. Unfortunately for them business doesn't work that way. You can pay someone a ton of money but if their work environment isn't to their liking and management doesn't do anything to help and does more to effect it negatively then yeah you are gonna get negative employee feed back or even work. Reality is the worker is a lot smarter now especially athletes
