Negotiations apparently hit a snag

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Like I said, Rivera is totally in the drivers seat in this negotiations. He could go to almost any other team, with a better situation. So, I’m sure he’s pushing for maximum player draft and FA control, his own guaranteed salary, perhaps who works at GM, coaching control; limiting Snyder’s influence in football decisions. Dan Snyder is definitely not used to conceding this much power to a HC. He may be pushing back at all the concessions to Rivera’s demands. He either gives in to Rivera and all his demands or this will go downhill quickly. If Rivera leaves this negotiation, other top HC candidates may look at the Redskins as unfixable. Half of the Snyder / Allen “problem” was Snyder himself. He’s done well by firing BA, as many on this site said he would never do. Now he may be limiting his own management on football issues in order to hire Rivera.....or not! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
That’s bullshit. Julie Donaldson, who has been on this story from the beginning, says they are going very well. Fred smoot says they left the park and having dinner together right now... with president Obama. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Nah I wouldn't read too much into the Obama diner. Might simply be a PR move to improve the organisation's image.

I hope they are. It seems like tbings were not as smooth as was expected. I remember, maybe wrongly, when we ended up with Zorn that a similar situation played out. We thought there was a done deal then things fell apart and two werks later Zorn was hired Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
I have no idea about President Obama, it was being tweeted by other people as well. Are Dan and President Obama actually friends? Or Ron Rivera and Obama?

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Sounds odd, thought Dan was a major Trump contributor, those two things wouldn't seem to be compatible , could just be a rich guy using his money to gain influence with whoever has power...

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Yeah, Obama who’s offended by the Redskins but not the Blackhawks. It was a joke.
