After the Cooks & Gurley deals... there is no logical reason to believe the Rams are low balling Donald. So, I don't think it's just V.B.'s opinion.... I am beginning to believe it's a lot of peoples belief that it is the Donald camp that is balking.

So it looks to me like:

1. There is a deal in place, and for what ever reason, all parties have agreed to announce it at the right time.

2. Donald's camp is asking for more than the Rams feel is fare.

I hope it's #1.

I don't think his logic is sound at all. He's making a bunch of assumptions and basing a lot of it on not knowing real figures.

If you read different people on this, you come away with different impressions. Some put the delay on the Rams because they are not coming through with what you should pay the best defender in the league in 2018.

Are they right?

We don;t know if they are anymore than we know if VB is.

AGREEMENT WITH VB IS JUST ON THE INDIVIDUAL POSTER...that is, if you share his assumptions, then, he looks good on this issue. If you don;t, he doesn't. AND THERE IS NO *REAL* WAY TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. Not with what we actually know.

So I would say the people who think VB's more pro-management take is good, were just inclined to see it that way themselves. Those people who in contrast agree with less pro-management oriented takes are doing the exact same thing. That's just how they personally are inclined to see it. THE FACTS do not support ANY view right now though.

To me VB is only "logical" if you're inclined to share his assumptions.

Other than that, to me, VB is just one view among other writers who are saying different things about all this. Without real facts to make a real judgment, all we are really going to get at this point is just different views, with no REAL way to choose between them.
