That's your version of what happened.
My version: Buffalo offered JDM twice what he is worth and they knew no one else was going to offer that. Done Deal.
I doubt there is a bunch of players and agents out there, talking about how "high handed" the Washington organization is, and vowing to never work with them again due to the way they handled the Mckissic situation.
