[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 953576, member: 10086"] Oh I have zero doubt that Davante held a grudge, I’ve said as much and never disagreed with that. Matter of fact I’ve nearly screamed it through 13 separate posts. GB did make LESSER offers at leaser twice through a non league high deal + franchise tag (per reports as low as 20m-23m area) Oakland put their BEST foot forward and gave him the BEST offer at $28.25m. Big big difference. Davante was already looking to get out and then hit an offer more than [B]$5,000,000 annual[/B] higher from a destination he already was open to (maybe even preferred). The Packers only tried to match that offer to stay. In the business world, that type last second matching offer comes across as disingenuous at best. So in fact, it was about the money. I might have done the same thing. I can’t stand when businesses try to “MATCH” my offer when they realize they have been whooped! Put your BEST offer forward and quit playing games. It’s just my opinion but had we offered him $29m out if the gate? In a courteous way? He’d be a Packer today. Do NOT confuse me with someone who would’ve agreed with that approach. Let him go, he developed an unhealthy attitude towards our FO and that becomes dangerous to team mentality. We got the equivalent of a top #13 overall selection and banked the Balance of after Rookie salary. What’s that like $24,000,000?? Annual. That was a blessing and thank you God! [/QUOTE]
