its really simple. let me set it up.
-- the difference between our offer and jets/seattle offer was what he would get paid this year i.e. 1.5M last year on his old contract vs 6M on a new one. roughly speaking
-- we think he is worth 5-6M per year. just not this year. next year.
-- we dont want to pay him this year because it would set a precedent of not honoring final years of rookie contracts. (but we already violated that w seymour. ) and what happened as a result wdeion has set an EVEN WORSE precedent, which is "just hold out, we will trade you and all your wildest dreams will come true".
so if we have 12M in salary cap sitting there, why didnt we pay him another 4M this year to make this team better. (we already agreed he was worth it next year) we achieved nothing in terms of avoiding precedent or setting ourselves up for future player negotiations.
possible answers
A. we got too pissed off. it became personal. ship him out
B. we think we have all the talent we need to win another superbowl this year, so get the draft pick
seriously, what other possible answer is there? does what happened w deion make any sense?
apologies in advance but i just cannot explain the logic in the FO. and i know they know what they are doing.....
