Give me your best Terry Contract (update: deal is done 3 yrs $96M)

This is not good. Really not good. I am trying to think of instances in which a player requested a trade, didn't get it, and then everything thereafter was just fine. Last year felt like such a breakthrough in terms of the overall culture of the team and organization. I hope these reports are not accurate.

I like Terry a lot. I think we all do. He has meant so much to this team, franchise, and fan base since he got here. I have to believe the owner, the coaching staff, and even the players all feel the same way too. I can't figure out what is going on here. It's hard for me to believe that they are lowballing him. It's more likely that he is just asking for something that isn't reasonable, which would somewhat surprise me. Actually, them lowballing him and him asking for too much would both surprise me. I thought this was a no-brainer a few months ago, but damn.

Honestly, he might want to stop F'ing around because he's only due $25.5M this year, and he is the only player I would consider using the franchise tag on next year... and that would only pay him about $28M next year. Then what, try to get that long term deal at age 32? Good luck!

Surely they are offering him at least $28M per year if not more, right?

Lamar Jackson and Myles Garrett just did it recently. Browns are a mess so who knows how it affected their locker room but Ravens seem fine with Lamar and vice-versa.

It’s just another “move” by Terry and his agent and it’s probably their last one.

I’m really curious about what’s being offered and what Terry's asking for

Schefter made a good point - WR's requesting a trade lately hasn't resulted in it happening.

Just part of the negotiation tactics. The business side of things gets ugly but it doesn't mean they don't want Terry. Both sides just want a reasonable deal.
