'BOYS LOW-BALLED WADE

A league source tells us that the Dallas Cowboys have indeed made an offer of the team's head-coaching job to Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. But the source says that the 'Boys put on the table a substandard financial package.

And that's the reason for the delay in the formal announcement. The Cowboys have indeed chosen Phillips, but there is no deal.

Yet.

The source expects a deal to be done. "They know he wants [the job] bad so they made him a very low offer," said the source.

Good old Jerry.

 

[Dallas]

Good old Jerry.

You are kidding me. You are taking PFT at its word?

Oh, come on. Jerry has to be smarter than this.

 

[Bull Frog]

It's PFT. A 'league source' is probably the moron in the cubicle next to this writer.

 

[YosemiteSam]

$50 thats my final offer!

I won't take their word for it, and I know you were not talking to me, but this would really not shock me at all. In some ways I think I expected it...if it is indeed happening.

I am sure Jerry, Stephen and Wade will work it out but it really would not shock me if they offered up a low contract offer initially. Hey they are just doing business.

$50 thats my final offer!

I bet Bum is wanting a $50 finders fee from Jerry and a $50 promotion fee from Wade. :

 

[DipChit]

Hell Wade would prolly pay Jerry just to be able to have the job.

PFT might have it backwards.. maybe Wade needs to up *his* offer.

LOL PFT has the inside dish on contract negotiations LMAO

 

[superpunk]

Seriously?

In a contract negotiation, there are different views on what the contract should be, and the two sides progressively work towards a resolution?

This is some groundbreaking ****.

Yep. That's why it's called negotiations...

Phillips demanded Jones' plastic surgeon's phone number.

My "inside sources" say they doo indeed have the inside scoop on some things.

Ding, ding, ding!

It's business of course, but you can make an offensive low offer if you know the party really wants the contract.

Hopefully Jerry's smart enough not to engage in that sort of behavior.

 

[zrinkill]

If this is true .... (and its prolly not) ..... cannot really blame Jerry for trying not to pay so much this time ..... He payed a legend millions and only got mediocre results.

Jerry didn't get to be a billionaire for nothing...

Why not save a few mil. He just paid 20 mil to a coach who has a much more impressive resume than Wade and didn't get it done. You think he wants to drop another 20 mil on him. Why not see how badly he wants it and then go from there?
