I don't think its Aurora thats the problem. Its Bud Adams.
What kind of franchise decides to not meet contractual obligations no matter what the situation. What kind of franchise holds a player hostage and try to get us to play the incentive bonus?
Its like hes Boss Hog back in his office screaming " I don't care how many may play he got in, I'm not paying him a dime!!!!"
And now its turned into a grudge match over this money and its so obvious that this is not professional, its personal.
This is the NFL, not Hazzard County.
A professional organization would have taken what they could get and moved on, not string it out like a jaded lover with all the lies and posturing nonsense.
They did this same crap with McNair back in 2006. He was their franchise player for a decade, led them to the Superbowl and constantly played hurt. In 2005 he played with a chest contusion which I think you can imagine playing QB that might hurt a little.
Regardless the franchise made a decision to move on and drafted VY in the draft. The writing was on the wall that he was on the outs but the way they handled it was more like Bud's Country Oil and Lube than the NFL.
They tell McNair that he is not welcome back at their facilities to work out because " he might hurt himself." Nevermind that they have trainers there specifically to help him with things like rehab. So McNair files a grievance and wins. this all takes MONTHS and the entire time they are negotiating with the Ravens about McNair.
Well with their hand forced, they say that McNair has to take a physical before he can come back to train. On the very day that he is on the way back to Nashville they trade him to the Ravens.
These are not the actions of a sane human being. I have had ex girlfriends that have done things like this. Hold onto somethng important of mine so I have to try and get it back and all the time freaking out only to have a friend bring it over to me after i force the issue. Its stupid.
i dont expect it to go any differently with Pacman than it did with McNair. First they want a draft pick then they want two now its two plus cash. Im sure next itll be something like a suite at the new stadium or some other nonsense. This will all go on until the day that Jones is reinstated and they have to take him off the suspended list and theyll trade him for whatever they can get.
But you hear nonsense about how the Titans don't want to reward Jones or that he doesn't deserve this. What kind of nonsense is that? What is this the Tennessee Titans 90210? This is business and I am sorry you invested so much in him but if you have decided to move on then MOVE ON!
They could have done it 4 months ago but oh no lets be drama queens and drag this out.
I will like the Titans team because they have VY but after seeing how they do business I hate their management in each and every possible way. After Al Davis, Bud Adams has to be the worst owner in the NFL.
At this point..it strictly looks to me that the Titans are trying to just poke the Cowboys in the eye and embarrass them and Pacman over the whole situation.
It's looked that way eversince this started.
Let's face it..this is just some way to get some off-season publicity for the Titans by having their name in the sport pages.
Otherwise, there isn't anything for the Titans to get in the sport pages about if you are from the Titans.
So they are getting all the milage out of it they can and trying to get everything they can from the Cowboys if they get desparate and it's not going to work.
Dallas will go silent shortly on this whole deal as the draft must now be prepared for.
Dallas now will start looking at what that 4th rd. pick will bring instead of Pacman and with each day, Dallas is going to integrate that more and more into their draft instead of farming it out to the Titans.
That will kill any deal.
The Titans are in trouble..IMO. They are going to get nothing now over Pacman. He'll be cut. The whole league will just say "hey, why trade for him..we'll try to get him in July for free when you release him." That's why nobody else is bidding for him.
The Titans just don't get it.
As you have said, they have gotten too cute, not dealt with the player or the Cowboys in good faith and it will come back to haunt them down the road.
The Titans are being penny wise and pound foolish as the saying goes.
Instead of doing the trade, being professional and building a relationship with Dallas that might let them do business in other ways later on..they are screwing the pooch here.
Let it go, I say.
