[quote=Schneed10;1375496]All due respect, if you think these situations don’t come up for good organizations, or that they won’t come up for us going forward, then you’re not in very good touch with the realities of NFL business. This is entirely normal.[/quote]

Frustrated w/ the situation. Not w/ the team. After a magical season, would have been nice to have a nice, peaceful offseason. Guess that's just not really a thing in the NFL.

At the end of the day, McLaurin agreed to a 3-year contract, so the onus is on him more than the team.

Re: Give me your best Terry Contract
 

I have come to the conclusion there are two scenarios here.

1) Terry is aware he's 'playing the game' and is making all this noise simply because he wants the best deal he can get and he's going to either back down and sign a reasonable offer or play out this year and see what happens in FA. If he's not a fool, he'll sign the deal.
2) He's getting really bad advice (agent), and he's ignoring outside people that are pointing out how precarious his position could become.

I really hope it's 1).

look at the steelers, every off season they seem to have some contract battle, i think we can all agree they are very well organization

Terry has two years left of a legit WR1, that is the reality, he came out of college at a old age , his window is/was smaller then others to get multiply big pay days

Re: Give me your best Terry Contract
 

Terry isn’t going to sit out a game or season.

Do we agree on that?

at this point he is just hurting his stock

he will have to play unless he wants no paycheck and missing training camp there is a higher probability of soft tissue injuries


look a Brandon A sat out got hurt.

if i am Terry i get in camp play out my contract and bet on myself next year, or take the commanders current offer , he is a 30 year old WR

Isn't? I wouldn't put a bet on at this stage.

Shouldn't? Be dumb if he did? Possibly Torpedoing his career? Yes.

Re: Give me your best Terry Contract
 

Terry's choices are limited.

choice 1: don't take AP's best/final offer and play out this year for $19million not guaranteed, hope he exceeds last year, and stays healthy. Then hope we don't use the FT and he gets a similar or better deal than AP's final offer with his desired guarantees.

or

choice 2: take AP's best and final offer and pocket between $50 and 58Million guaranteed.

It's not rocket science to know which option he will choose, and it's not that hard to understand that he is holding out to the last minute to find out what AP's last/best offer really is.


to state the obvious: choice one would be stupid because if he's healthy and exceeds last year we are definitely FT'ing him so his max from choice 1 is 49million with serious downside risk of less playing time/injury

I don't think Terry is stupid so I am not worried that he will sign and be on the roster for game 1.

Reread your post, bro. You're basically saying there's a chance Terry is an idiot.

I don't think he is, I think he's one of the smartest players in the NFL.

Agree that Terry is a smart player, but he is not being to smart in his negotiations right now . . . delusional would be a better word.

Actually that is a pretty strong word, especially when you don't know exactly what's happening between both parties. You are literally judging Terry based on rumors...

IF he doesn't sign before the season I may re-evaluate, but all accounts show he has maintained positive relationships with teammates, coaches, and even the front office.

He has every right to state his position and his justifications, that doesn't mean he is delusional.

110% agree.

He's not that dumb and he's always been a team guy.

What's going on right now is just business, pretty standard stuff.

all delusional means is that his beliefs are far off base with reality . . . and when it comes to his worth, he is 100% delusional!!

There is a possibility, however slim. He's taking advice from somewhere, almost certainly his agents, that he can get what he's asking for, or close to it. The reality is a lot of voices are saying he won't get it and AP has no issue playing hardball with him. I think and I hope he's smart enough to listen to those other voices too and be honest with himself. But he's listened to these guys for months and nothing so far says he is definitely willing to change his mind. He is probably playing brinkmanship, I'm just not yet prepared to bet on him not being an idiot. This could and should have been put to bed already to the benefit of both parties.
