Let me preface this by saying I'm not posting rumors. I have not heard any kind of speculation from any kind of media outlet. This thread is simply a thought I have.
Last year Edelman signed for 4 years 17 mill. This offseason, a very comparable player in Randall Cobb got 4 years and 40 million. In my opinion they are very close players, and if Edelman were a free agent right now I think he could have gotten a very similar contract to Cobb.
My two questions are:
1. Given how well he performed this past season, especially in the playoffs, do you guys think a holdout is possible in any way
2. If a holdout were to happen, could you blame Jules?
Me personally, it's not likely and I don't think it's like Jules to hold out of training camp or even the start of the reg season. However, I don't think the scenario would be completely out of the realm of possibility.
I also would not blame Jules one bit
