Steelers can just decide to screw him and he doesn't seem to understand that.
If he doesn't play this year he value will drop on the open market
He is going to lose money and he has all the risk.
Seems like he could get a big payday which may be at risk in the future.
Emotions getting in the way of intelligent decisions.
It is a shame but we are all responsible for our decisions.
I could be wrong but I think he'll get a deal on the open market that matches Gurleys.
NFL teams and GMs consistently underestimate the FA market. If he gets $45M in guarantees, he would have come out ahead.
Yeah but if he misses out on $10M in game checks this year it's almost a push from what his original offer was.....without all the drama and animosity the hold out created with his teammates and fans.
I believe the most he can miss is 10 games. That's 8.53M.
So $12M - $8.53M = $3.47M he's ahead. That's just the money cost which one could argue is insignificant.
But ego, feeling wanted, the sense of nobility that comes from helping the players' cause of labor defeating management would likely make it a great win for him.
I think this former GM/team President contributor is wrong and it's probably because he's too close to the management side of things. He actually sounds angry himself.
