perfectly written from the ownership side.
I find it interesting that we have all the facts when no one has the facts outside of Donald and Rams management.
Go Aaron Donald!!!
They can even try to be objective when it's clear they are just simply seeing it from (their version of) the player's side or (their version of) management's side.
What then happens is that the very way people put things indicates they are seeing it from one perspective or the other.
So someone might say, well the team has to think about what's best for the Rams. The (unwarranted) assumption there being that the player has to lower demands for the sake of the team.
While there's of course taken in the abstract there's some truth to that, it is EQUALLY true (in the abstract) that a team that doesn;t know how to keep its best talent ISN'T doing what's best.
That;s as true as a statement as the former one. And both are just abstractions at this point since we really have no idea what is happening.
As I said since in truth we know nothing right now, the assumptions people tend to accept are just the results of a rorschach test. The problem is, we all experience those assumptions as Truths and Realities. It's usually not that common for people to see that they are taking sides when they genuinely believe they are not.
OBJECTIVELY, near as we know right now, there's nothing tangible to base any assumptions on, and the issues delaying a contract could be on the team, on the player, on both, or on neither.
