But as I recall that situation the Ram's were quite upfront about acknowledging they didn't intend to keep him. Different situation with AD. With Jenkins it seemed to me it was more a matter of acknowledging they couldn't, or were unwilling, to pay him what he wanted.
As for your second indicator... I could be VERY wrong here, and you may be dead on the money... but when I read "A contract similar to "X" I don't just think $ amount. Lot of other factors... length of contract, incentives, etc. How do we know the $ amount is the only similarity? - JamesJM
