A habit of lowballing their best players, dz? What?
Yeah, they underestimated Jenkins value, but I don’t think that that was a deliberate lowball.
They certainly didn’t lowball Tavon, Ogletree, Woods, Whitworth, or Barron. That’s for darned sure.
And btw, what team doesn’t enter negotiations with a lower offer than they’re willing to ultimately pay? Or people buying homes or cars for that matter? C’mon...
Look, the Rams have reportedly been negotiating with AD for a year and a half. Everybody should be waaaaay past the preliminary dancing of offers and counter offers.
Something substantial has created this impasse and I don’t think it’s the Rams unwillingness to pay him in the neighborhood of $20 million per with very heavy guaranteed.
Sooooo...
Read what I wrote again:
"...low balling their
best players."
Austin, Barron, and Ogletree don't qualify as best players. None of the three are much better than average IMO.
I'm talking about a deficiency in their ability to extend above average or elite players. I'm not talking about extending average ones or signing free agents.
