Then when they don't get anything done they can say "hey we tried!!"
How is this shade?
What more can the Rams do? We already know they offered him the most money last season when he had two years left on his contract. The ball is entirely in AD's court. He wants to be a free agent. Not because he wants to leave but because he wants other players and other teams to reset the market.
It is clear that there really isn't a price that is going to matter this year. Next years number will be better. If the Rams make an offer based on next years assumed market that will simply drive up AD's price for next year. Next year they will go to the table and say that the offer the Rams made in 2018 was the market at that point. Then they will ask them to go higher due to inflation.
That is negotiations. We knew how this would go when they held out due to the him over performing his contract and turning down a massive pay increase. It's a dance they have been leading for years now.
