Adam2552 Releases MattJames Contract Negotiations

It only helps his argument if take away all other factors that influence the willingness to pay that much for a position. Predraft Philly made it clear that if they selected me they were going to invest in my development to a LB. In exchange I'm expected to reciprocate that trust and investment with dedication. My initial contract offer with Philly was a lot higher than the one I accepted. Loyalty begets loyalty.

((That is a good argument. I think that you having been around longer and shown that you'll put in the work was a huge factor as well. Yeah, I got nothing else here.

Unrelated, but since we are the same position now (though different roles), I'd like to start some kind of rivalry, friendly in nature, for our rookie season. I'll be playing sometimes at safety, so I am hesitant to just do tackles, but maybe total between tackles, sacks, PDs, and INTs? Two of those favor you (tkls/sacks, two favor me (PDs, INTs). Let me know if interested.))
