But why would the Cowboys offer him $17M per year when they can get him for the next 3 years for far less overall (even 4 years I think would be less overall) and with nothing guaranteed other than the one year if they just keep franchising him? The Cowboys have 0 incentive to give him what he is asking for. I don't expect him to just sign whatever's on the table, but he has to start from a semi-reasonable amount or be willing to go down. I suppose if he wants to sit out this year (and most likely next) he can, but that isn't exactly going to encourage other teams to sign him and it is when other teams start to sign players (or for whatever reason tagging the player is impossible) that these numbers start to come into play, not in a case like this.
ya know, let's just pull 2 things out of this and i'm out.
"he has to start somewhere".
yes. yes he sure does.
"be willing to go down".
why do you think he started so high? you new to negotiations?
why must you see the worst case scenario as the only possible, or the most highly probable, outcome? people who look for the worst in situations usually find it whether it's there or not. just a matter of what dog you feed.
how about you put the worry down until there's something to worry about cause i promise you, there ain't a damn thing you can do between now and then to change the inbetween.
except worry and that won't help.
