Atlantic Ram
Donald holds THE only card that matters... himself. All the other cards, hammers, levers etc. are useless if he decides not to play. And why would he? Who is advocating that he risk potentially $100 million for $7 million? $7 million is a lot of money but $93 million is more... its like from the earth to the sun more.
I would sit out. I don't understand the reasoning to do anything else. Why would anyone in AD's situation play without an extension???
No one answered why he played last year in a question I posed last week... Maybe it had something to do with the CBA last year. Pretty sure it doesn't this year as far as his right to seek a fair contract.
Not pro Donald here. I just don't understand how the "leverage/hammer" metaphor applies in this case... UNLESS the Rams just sit him until his contract is out and don't trade him.
IF I were Donald I would seek a fair contract, sign it and play for the Rams for the next 4 or 5 years. We don't know if that has even been offered yet.
Highly doubtful AD would sit out the year and make $0.00 dollars and have a chance at being part of a Super Bowl team..... unless he has some sort of insurance policy.
The Rams have the insurance policy, Suh, Talib and Peters.
Rams don't need Donald nearly as much as he needs money.I'm not saying Donald will play without an extension this year, I'm saying he will sign an extension that is probably much closer to the Rams offer than his agents demands and play.
The leverage thing that most of the reports talks about is real...Donald would be wise to blink first.
Why did Donald cave last year? Perhaps he likes game checks?
Why is OBJ playing without a deal right now???
Only Donald and his agent know if Donald needs money.
Maybe Donald caved last year because he needed to save a chunk of that $1.8M knowing that this year was coming. Or maybe his agent has gotten him some lines of credit that can tide him over for years.
We call can make up a theory but no one really knows.
