Cormac,
Our only difference (that I can see) is in what you might call 'lowballing'.
Carl has a fudiciary responsibility to Lamar, this team, and the rest of the League NOT to blow the roof off of positional salaries. Negotiations should start in the top ranges of TEs (as is just), but to immediately offer WR type compensation would be irresponsible and insane ~ not to mention that it would hurt our team (and others) by dramatically raising the bar on positional salaries.
I would bet money that this is exactly where Carl will start the negotiating ~ and would double the bet on the fact that the Press will castigate Carl for it. The sad thing is that many naive fans will support the Press' manipulations rather than out team.
Luz
fans should NEVER react to negotiations ~ just the outcome...
