Dunta’s footwear message to G.M.: “Pay me, Rick”

Texans cornerback Dunta Robinson wants a new contract. He didn’t get one in the offseason, and he held out until early September before signing his one-year franchise tender.

But even though he’ll make nearly $10 million this year, he had a game-day message to G.M. Rick Smith on his shoes, according to Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle.

“Pay me, Rick.”

An otherwise businesslike Robinson laughed while discussing the matter after the 24-7 loss to the Jets, as seen in video captured by Sports Radio 610, the Houston affiliate of Sporting News Radio.

“It’s just a reminder that this is what we’re here for,” Robinson said. “It’s to get paid.”

Ugh.

Yeah, we should all be so underpaid that we’d only get nearly $10 million for four months of work.
