QuotePHDram I think this is true but the player must agree to the settlement. I don't know what motivation barron would have to agree to less money.

The bottom line for me is this. Who knows better than anyone here on this board how important Sammy is to the Offense? The answer is McVay. If Sammy was THE reason the O did so well this year due to "clearing out" areas, McVay will not let him walk unless he see someone else who can do the same. It's McVays' O. He runs it.
