Jerry's rightly drawn his line in the sand.
He's made his best offer.
We'll see if the Titans take it or gamble and lose it all.
I hope you are right. I don't have a major problem with PM coming on board, but I do have a problem with the way the Titans have conducted their negotiations. How can they possible ask Jerry to reimburse them for part of their obligation to PM that he earned while with the Titans?
Jerry didn't make the mistake in drafting PM with all of his baggage - the Titans did. They want Jerry to pay for their mistakes.
Their posture however could be good for the Cowboys if the trade falls through. However, PM will be the biggest loser. The Cowboys have in place an excellent program to help troubled players and MAYBE they could help PM. That remains to be seen if they trade for him. Without a good support group and program there is always the likelihood that his past conduct will continue.
The Oilers were always my second team when they were in Texas because they were in Texas. They were a long, long way behind the Cowboys however. When they moved to TN I continued with warm (not hot) support. Now, they have fallen back into the pack and are no longer on the radar. I'm sure they would be devastated if they knew that. smile.
