Regarding latest report on #Rams/Aaron Donald: For obvious reasons the next seven to 10 days were always underlined as the “something’s gotta give” window. Sense I’m getting is it’s still too soon to predict where it will all end up, numbers wise.

One has been engaging in negotiations seemingly forever while the other isn’t/hasn’t been. From my dealings with players as an agent, that’s a sure fire way to make someone feel disrespected. I’m positive other Oakland players have noticed how their best player is being treated.
I was involved in the last veteran player holdout Jon Gruden had with the Bucs. At some point during the holdout, the player decided he wanted out of Tampa at all cost so we started trying to force a trade. Because of this experience, I don’t rule out a Khalil Mack trade.
You’re right it’s a business but some teams get offended when a player uses the tools at his disposal. A team exec once told me that since most holdouts fail nothing should be done to antagonize that player to mininizme him being a disrputive influence when he returns.
