[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 461231"] Agree with paragraph 2. It should be noted its a two-way street in a renegotiation. The player is given security in the here-and-now; the team expects a discount in return. We don't know what was offered, if anything, but it does not sound like Jennings is asking for less than market..."don't call me unless the offer is close to what we're asking" or something to that affect. Jennings recent comments are the first step in a familiar pattern...the water is starting to be poisoned. Any further comments from Jennings will reinforce the argument he won't be signed. Interesting to see Rodgers' "we wish him the best, we cannot pay everybody" comment...not the stumping we've seen in the past for JJ and Wells. He's maturing as a businessman; any concerns should stay in-house. Rodgers may wish to avoid the situation Brees found himself in...he was not extended under the management argument that other players needed to be secured in order to win. Then they slapped him with the franchise tag for 2011, and then AGAIN for 2012 without any urgency to get a contract done. Brees was pissed. He won an arbitration case in July that bumped his franchise pay from $16.3 mil to $23.5 mil. Only THEN did NO make an offer Brees was happy to sign. Expect moderator to merge threads. [/QUOTE]
