Hopefully the BLBPA doesn't get word of this.

Alright, so I havent had much experience with the league and FA, but if a guy wants 20 million a year and every team offers at most 10 million a year, he will fold, right?

We don't know; We've had no experience with that in this league. Guys who ask for $10 million end up with $20 million in this league.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

For the sake of competition, probably better that we keep our contract offers private.

I know someone asked what a certain player was asking for on the market and probably wasn't aware of this but players ask for different salaries depending on a number of factors.

Yeah, I agree. I'm assuming a guy would ask for less to play for a team with a better chance to win. Only a guess though.

No one ever discusses what they offer. What a player is asking for is shared sometimes.... but every player that signs will sign for at least 10-20% more than their asking price... some more.

Ok, I'll make history & be the first. I'm going to offer Bill Gentry (who's something like 100 years old but still thinks he can play) $10 and a big mac.

I think he told me that he wanted a damn Whopper. Don't anger the man.

You know what I don't understand about that commercial? The actor they hired to run the register is a pretty well known commercial actor, the people should have known something was up when he was taking their order imo.
