I agree 100%. And in this scenario the Rams have at least 2 options:
1.) Let Mack sign first.
2.) Sign Donald to such a huge contract that the Raiders balk at exceeding it.
If I were the Rams I'd go with number 1. And if that is what they're doing then everything that's currently going on between the Rams and AD makes perfect sense (to me, anyway).
I'd propose a 3rd option:
Offer Donald a opt-out clause after year 2 or 3. Of course the total package would be lower, but it would offer both sides flexibility. If Mack signs a deal exceeding Donald's (possible), then this would keep Donald hungry for an even better deal. No, I'm sure the organization wouldn't want to do this all over again in 2 or 3 years, but when you see what's going on with Julio and Aaron Rogers, there's nothing to prevent it from happening anyway.
Why in the world would the Rams agree to such a thing, BRO?
Why throw away all their leverage AND pay AD millions more than necessary, only to be faced with losing him in the same 3 years of elapsed time that would transpire via the 2 tags? That would be insane.
