Adam2552 Releases MattJames Contract Negotiations

[adam2552]

Yeah this exactly. Didn't he say before the draft he didn't want to go to Philly? That's probably why he wanted a player option, because he didn't want to be there for 3 seasons

Either way, Philly basically turned their 6th round pick into a 4th round pick, Matt got to leave Philly, and the Wraiths addressed a need at OL so.... win win win? Other than the hurt feelings lol

He never expressed any desire to not play for Philadelphia. Not pre-draft or post-draft, until after he was traded.

Ultimately we think the deal was best for him and Philadelphia, I wish nothing but the best for him.
