Right. They did not pursue him, so it wasn't his decision to make. He was not given an offer. Lawrence said he was going to consider his options, and since Dallas didn't make him an offer, it was not one of those options.
Right. He clearly had situation in mind since his family is all there. No one in their right mind is going to play for less than they're reasonably worth though. Speaking of money, for his big contract from Dallas, I believe it was him that stepped in during negotiations and told his agent that $21M was enough when his agent wanted to keep pursuing more. Doesn't sound like a "money is the only thing" guy to me if I remembered that correctly.
Oh, There were plenty people who were celebrating when he was finally removed from the team. We have a lot of the, grass is always greener over there people on this board.
Yeah I dont care what anyone says, he still has the last laugh. Talking trash or not. He is there, and we are here. Simple as that.
I just remember him refusing to have surgery until a new deal was done, which kind of forced Dallas' hand but also affected his start to the season. I think a lot of guys aren't "money is the only thing," but it's the most important thing when football is your business.
Funny the people that said Kellen Moore couldn't coach.....Now he has a ring. The same people that said D-Law was washed......
Really starting to think this 30 year drought is for one reason only....and that's the people in that damn building are really that dumb.
No other way to explain it. You would think after 20 years....Hey something would sink in....catch on....but nope. Same old losing ways.
Now....Jerry has totally sold his soul to Wakanda for the sake of winning. Good luck Jerry. You deserve everything you have worked so hard for.
The point is that the team didn't offer him bc they were not willing to match the free agency offers he was getting. So, they wanted him back just at a certain price. Same with Parsons. The team wanted him until the price got too high.
It's the most important thing in any business. You don't prioritize it, you're looking for another way to make a living. I don't fault him for using whatever bargaining chip he could. How many negotiations did Jerry drag out after that only to pay them anyway until he got into a tizzy over Micah and traded him? You don't use your arrows, they'll use theirs if y'all can't agree. All's fair.
This is becoming a real issue with Jerry and the front office. Are they even communicating with their players or making offers, or are they just waiting until the last minute?
He was supposed to be a leader in Dallas - he really was not. Did nothing to promote a winning culture. He is not the reason for the winning culture in Seattle so I don't know what kind of "told you so" he would have.
Correct, they act like this dude with some model citizen over here,
Thats fair....still not sure I'm completely buying into that side of things, but where you're coming from is logical.
Well dont get me wrong but it wasnt like that.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what the debate is about on the DLaw situation, but isnt this the entire point??? He leaves Dallas to go to a stronger organization and all of a sudden the Hot boys talk is dead, the injuries go away, he plays in 19 games being a top run defender while being part of double digit sacks.
You can go with him...simple as that...
