Yeah I agree that it was a display of Randy's immaturity. I also hope for his sake that someone gets in his ear to save the money he's earned or manage it well. I doubt he'll get another contract so I hope he's not broke in 10 years. I hope for the best for him and I'm relieved he didn't sign with us. This is the type of immature character that hurts our culture. I think it shows weakness when players get into "Twitter wars" with fans or media outlets.
100%
2 things can be true.
1. RG got screwed by NFL who pushed his big money off 3 years with egregious punishment for a common, minimally harmful drug.
2. RG has big ears and is overly sensitive even in a time when he should be celebrating. That is a red flag. And I am grateful it isn't our team making the commitment that gets RG right with his career earnings.
RG tells one story this off-season and totally different one last year this time. He credited the Joneses with him even being in the league just a year ago. Now he is calling them "bad faith actors" --pure agent speak nonsense btw, while admitting they agreed to pay him 28M GTD and 70M over 5 years.
What's clear is he was overly emotional in all this and let "his money get mad".
That is a tenet he could learn from Jerry Jones.
ALSO ::: none of this totally removes blame from the Cowboys FO. They do know Randy. They know other players too that are overly emotional beings. You don't trigger those guys in negotiations and just assume they will calmly forgive and forget. They CLEARLY lowball guys with their first offer and they clearly put the onus on agents to go out and get the highest possible offer elsewhere.
This is very flawed because it angers agents and other teams who negotiate knowing they have to stylize a deal that Dallas won't or can't match.
This can be viewed as giving up tactical advantage. You let EVERYONE know your model and tactics and bull-headedly stick to it as other teams work it to their benefit.
