It's less that he's trying to get paid and more how he's going about it. I think he's being unreasonable, but I also believe he has a right to be unreasonable. What I don't think he has a right to do is refuse to honor his contract. To me this is different from holding out on a franchise tag, or even a 5th year option, because the terms of those are externally imposed. This is a contract whose terms were negotiated by his representatives and agreed to by him. It's not an unfair deal, and he's not even particularly underpaid. He wants more money? Fine. He can fulfill his obligations and go get it next year.
Also, secondarily, he doesn't have a right to have the stooge Mike Florio try and gaslight everyone into believing his demands are more reasonable than they are. Honestly I'd respect him more if he just came out and said he wanted Aaron Donald money.
