There is that "There's a feeling" again. Simply stated, they know NOTHING.
There is no way AD forfeits another acrrued year toward FA. He WILL be signed by the August 7 deadline. If not, I will immediately purchase a donald jersey and eat it piece by piece. No sauce. No side dish. Nothing. As a matter of fact I won't consume any food until every stitch of that jersey has seen the inside of my stomach.
Once all the jersey reminants return to daylight, I will send them to his agent.

More fake news. On another note, I have been thinking a lot about what someone posted the other day. They said "who is more valuable to the Rams... Donald or Gurley?". And I can't get it out of my head now! Makes a lot of sense. I still hope we can sign Donald... but the numbers have to work for the TEAM. Are you listening, Aaron???
I would not be too quick to dismiss one person's tweet over the other. Even if one is more established. Geller's tweet was quickly dismissed but everything coming out since does not dispute his other than he's a nobody. And so far no one from either side is disputing what was said in that tweet. If it wasn't true you would think Donald's camp would leak something to contradict that. Since these reports came out Donald has lost a lot of support in the court of public opinion.
All we have heard from either side is silence. Getting silence after gellers tweet doesn't mean anything. Nothing has leaked so know one knows anything. All we here is what people think or what people heard people think. While someone might guess right in the end, it doesn't mean they new squat. So after all the tweets and reports what do we know?? NOTHING!!!

I've been stewing on this idea of looking at these contracts not as $$ but as % of the salary cap. This site has been pretty helpful on those lines for those of you who want to run down that rabbit hole with me:

Why? Neither side has really disputed ANY off the tweets. I don't think they give two shits about what these guys say.

So he will take up around 14% of the cap.
We have 42 mill just towards the Dline without Donald getting a raise. Wow.
One good sign here is that things have yet to get ugly, with both sides leaking info and posturing in the press. This means they might be close.
Have to think that if the Rams or AD are throwing in the towel things would be getting nasty by now.

AD and Mack have the same agents right? Just thinking from a pure agent perspective who didn't give a shit about their clients (not saying this is true but from pure selfish stance) it'd make sense to do ADs first and set the top market number since Edge rushers always get paid more than interior lineman. They ignore Mack until Donald is done and they'll make more money.
But that's just devil's advocate speculation. Either way, glad there seems to be constant dialogue with AD at least.
These two want too much for their respected positions. They don't want to make the same mistakes Miami made with Suh and I don't blame them
Hey @wolfdogg , if it comes to this I'll save you the $125 and send you my A. Donald jersey. I only want photos of the "meal" in return. But not the "remnants"...
