Since nobody has the terms of the deal, claims like this are simply guesses.
That's why I said it seems that they have tried to negotiate in good faith effort not that they have tried. All we can go on is sources and Curran's sources says that they made a good faith effort. I tend to believe them since Mankin's agent's own words seem to be that they feel that if Mankins does even get offered the highest paid contract (or second highest but close) that it isn't a good faith effort. If Curran's sources are right, the Pats legitimately tried to come to the table and Mankins is playing hardball.
