The way I take Vinny's article here is it's a signal from the Rams that they're willing to go higher than the offer actually on the table but they need AD to come down from his outrageous demands.
Do you genuinely believe AD's demands are "outrageous"?
I would say that unless we hear real numbers, there's no way to judge that.
So for example I can imagine a universe in which a sticker-shocked Rams perceive 24 M as "outrageous" when from another point of view, that's within a plausible range.
That was fiction just to make a point.
I share your concerns about Demoff's language---"among the top defenders" could even mean LESS money than Von Miller, but that would not be market value. I don't know if they're doing that but it does raise a concern that he spoke that way.
But I am not sure that without numbers that I have seen any evidence that AD's demands are :"outrageous."
Maybe they really are.Who knows. But I just don't think we have enough to go on to determine that.
....
I have no idea if his demands are outrageous. No one can know that as you say... I was making that statement from the Rams position. That last sentence is essentially what I hear them saying from VB's article. I should have made that clearer.
If I was AD I'd be asking for $24-25. Is that outrageous?
Considering Von Miller just signed for $19M per two years ago and he is a pass rushing OLB who historically get paid higher then DT's , It's not outrageous, but it's more then the Rams should pay... we have too many emerging stars who we are going to want to keep also.
I think $21-22M is about what
should be enough to get him signed and probably close to what the Rams are offering
