Here’s some of his meandering, non answers, unintended admissions of his intentions and general “business as usual” comments.
George - He really likes George and while he understands that everyone wants to know about negotiations, that he hasn’t even met with the agent and that he will be with the team whether there’s a contract or he is on the tag and now he’s in the tag.
Agents - Jerry has still never spoken with Mulagheta and still believes that agents are not the primary involved but he understands players may prefer to work through their agent
High Profile Drama - usually drama happens when there’s a bigger impact player. I don’t reallly know how to donut any other way than to have drama when it comes to negotiations. While we may lead the league in terms of perception when it comes to drama but other teams have that too. It’s not a concern of mine at all.
The “frailities” of the way I express myself to you guys may make for good reading !but I want the relationship with George Pickens to be all honey.
Micah - The amount we got for him just made it impossible to turn it down.
“Breaking the Bank” - I can see us be aggressive in free agency. The “frailities” of the way I express myself to you guys may make for good reading but I want the relationship with George Pickens to be all honey.
“To speculate, I would think we spend more money in free agency than last year”
(He was pressed and asked if bust the budget is the same as “being aggressive”)
“What you’re asking to do is to go borrow some of my future and to expect me to borrow my future.”
