That agent is hoping and praying the Rams lose. How messed up is that. Negotiation power play. If Smart has a hell of a game, and Rams win,we will see where this goes.
Specifically, he is hoping the Rams lose narrowly, but the offense looks pretty good, just the defense is deficient. If the offense collapses, the Rams could easily decide that AD would not be a difference maker for them.
If the defense looks good, especially TruJo and AO, then the Rams could decide they need the money to keep those two. So there is a real risk by AD not showing up that the lesson learned might not be the one he and his agent would like.
