Some of you guys are just really out of control. Jerry and Stephen know what Murray's value to this team is. They've NEVER had a problem ponying up for their own guys, when it's the right decision. Until Murray signs with someone else, all of you pissing and moaning look like little girls who want to open gifts early on xmas. NOTHING has happened. He is still out there for a reason. If ANYONE made him and overwhelming offer, he would have signed.
The bottom line is, Murray AND his agent over-valued him. Now the market is sorting itself out. Until he signs elsewhere, ease off the doom and gloom and regain your sanity.
At this point, half this board will look like absolute tools if Murray resigns here. NO ONE wants him to go elsewhere. Some of us just understand the realities of the situation.
Furthermore, is there somewhere I can read about someone in the front office comparing this situation to MBIII? Or is that yet another delusion created here?
