Yeah it's not safe to make the old "player asking too much" assumption.

IF there IS a problem it's at least equally plausible to assume that it's the Rams lowballing.

No team gives a player whatever they want no matter what...that's just message board rhetoric. Should a player accept a team's offer no matter what?

When we lack information, which in this case, you're right, we most decidedly do, is it fair to assume that the problem is the player? Or is it fair to assume the problem is the team? How about the safest assumption---it's either neither or both.

We do know at least this much. NOTHING the Rams have said about any of this even remotely suggests that AD is a problem. They did suggest that with both Tru and Watkins---in both cases we heard, we would like them back if we can do it. That, translated, means the Rams are not going to pay them what they are asking. In AD's case, in contrast, all we hear is we want to do this, we want to get it done. There have been hints that it was harder to structure an extension in 2017 than it would be in 2018 (in 2018 they can use 2019 cap space to structure things so it is, yeah, easier). That's it. We heard structure issues, not "amount" issues.
