Well, even if we are put into a discussion without any credible reason, it's because of the precedent Danny has set.

As far as us saying no at the end, I hope you're right. If I knew that for sure, I'd certainly have a lot more confidence. But I'll take your word on it.

When Danny gets his mind set on someone, he almost always get him, regardless of cost. That's why I have a hard time believing we just push back from the table when the price gets too steep.

Wanna fight about it?

So do you think that Snyder would have kept upping his offer until Denver said yes and they decided to go with a lesser offer? All he had to do was say (in your logic) 'whatever anyone else offers, we'll do that plus an additional first' and we would have gotten him. Everybody has their limits to what they're willing to do.

I guess maybe I worded that wrongly. I don't think Snyder is a totally blind fool (close though), but we all know he will overpay, sometimes grossly, when he really wants a guy. He's not scared of a pissing contest. That's all I meant.
