First of all this posturing in public none of it is true from both sides anybody who believes one side or the other it's not paying attention..
this is just posturing this is public court of opinion type things, they're trying to make fans take sides and not poke blame at one or the other they don't want to be be called greedy Prescott and his group do not want to be seen as greedy but behind the scenes they do probably want 60 million, they know they probably can't get it but if that's their starting number they're more likely to get 55..
Jerry said just test this theory come out in public offer the guy 48 million with a four-year contract & it make it fully guaranteed and see what Daks people do.... But if he wants to fully guarantee contract, he can't have a no trade clause and a no franchise tag clause he needs to give something this time.. But if he wants more than that then it won't be fully guaranteed give him 52,000,000 what's put him in the top five but only make 75% of it guaranteed...
We can all play this game I mean this is just a game getting fans to take sides it's almost political... Something like this is probably going to get done before the season or it won't but it's not off the table I promise you all this posturing acting like they're not gonna sign some of these guys are long term contracts are just clickbait,
I mean they're literally trying to make fans so stirred up that they daily talk about this so that way the website is getting its traffic that it needs for the advertisers that's why they call it clickbait a lot of this is not true..
