I like Terry a lot. I think we all do. He has meant so much to this team, franchise, and fan base since he got here. I have to believe the owner, the coaching staff, and even the players all feel the same way too. I can't figure out what is going on here. It's hard for me to believe that they are lowballing him. It's more likely that he is just asking for something that isn't reasonable, which would somewhat surprise me. Actually, them lowballing him and him asking for too much would both surprise me. I thought this was a no-brainer a few months ago, but damn.

Honestly, he might want to stop F'ing around because he's only due $25.5M this year, and he is the only player I would consider using the franchise tag on next year... and that would only pay him about $28M next year. Then what, try to get that long term deal at age 32? Good luck!

Surely they are offering him at least $28M per year if not more, right?
