And I know your char didn't receive that money, but in terms of team expense, Philly DID spend that money to fill a position of need on defense, which is relevant given James' remarks on the scarcity of O line.))
Sorry, I misread your post, which I agree with in principle. Adam seemed willing to negotiate but Matt threw the his his toys out of the pram, refused to see the rest of the team and started his holdout.
I feel like there's large difference between a team paying a fee for a player to change positions in which said player receives none of that money, and a player receiving that whole amount.
