With regard to the "two way street" comment, I feel like the club holds the initiative in these discussions. There's lots of details that can get ironed out before haggling over the numbers begins.
Hope our opening offer was the biggest payday for a defender in todays game. Hope that was our start. Anything else would be amateur hour.
Lol at trying to justify your reasoning for blaming one party and not the other after you admitted you have no details, no insight, no facts....so ZERO KNOWLEDGE of what's going on.
Let's do better.
This could be the first time in history 90% of the fan base is on the side of the player holding out. Front office cannot even whisper that they expect our future HOFer to play on his fifth year if they cant agree. Please don't go there sirs.
I didn't go anywhere.
Siding with either side without any facts at this stage shows a bias and we have no facts.
It's really that simple.
I totally agree with you. But in the absence of information, its easy to rely on fear. And my fear comes from paraag negotiating history for "team friendly" deals.
So yes. I admit it. I'm scared. I'm scared our front office obsession with bargain hunting will poison the waters with our freak generational pass rusher. There. I said it.
Do I have any "information"? No. But I'm scurred. I'm scurred we'll resort to contractual obligations to bludgeon our way past negotiations for a few million bucks. That would show our FO is not very good at creative problem solving.
But a lot of posters continue to insist we are on the verge. So I will white knuckle the next few days and say to myself "I believe." I believe.
