[QUOTE="sschind, post: 777535, member: 10247"] I don't think so. He is not going to come in with the assumption he will be the #1 option, or at least I would hope his role would be adequately explained to him. As such he is going to have to realize that his "prove it" is more in line with doing the best with what he is given and NOT whining and complaining about it. Teams have concerns that he has lost something and he can prove them wrong with 75 targets as easily as he can with 150. He doesn't need to lead the league in anything he just has to show he can be productive with what he is asked to do and if he can do that on 75 targets teams should be able to figure out his stats would be higher with more. Exactly. If he starts whining and complaining that he isn't getting the ball he has to know that will not help in his quest for a long terms deal. If he is looking for a chance to come in and be a teams #1 WR and get the bulk of the targets it would be up to Gute to explain it to him that that won't be the case (assuming that wouldn't be the case). If he agree to that he will have to realize he has to prove what he can do within his new role. If that is not acceptable I don't think he would sign. Could that happen? Why are there not protocols in place to prevent that? I thought we had some standards here? I agree especially if you realize that we could have most likely kept Jordy for 7 or even 5. I'm guessing Gute had no real interest in keeping Jordy around at all hence the lowball offer. I'd be OK with 5 for Dez but as Poker said less would be better. [/QUOTE]
