The writer has a point, not to mention 10 years of experience in negotiating contracts with player/agents.

The offer is reportedly record setting for a D player. The exact numbers are unknown, but regardless of one’s agenda that is a market setter.

Bottom line is that there is still a difference between what Rams and AD see as his worth.

It’s that simple.
