At least at 20M a year they are negotiating !
Cooley strongly believes that last year the first offer made by the Redskins was so lower than KC expected and KC's first counter offer was so much higher than the Redskins expected there was no negotiation to speak of.
I'm also thinking, on top of figuring out huge numbers, all this time, hesitations, leaking and drama helped the team get a sense of how the fanbase would react.
Like "ok we can pay him big money and not look like fools getting robbed"...
Do you think than can be any kind of a factor, or not at all?
