Thomas Passmann was extended for two seasons after a solid rookie and sophomore campaign. No longer a new, inexperienced prospect, but a player with a few seasons and a reputation under his belt, it is rumored that his monetary benchmark will have increased yet again. His agent hinted at the possibility of looking for more money with the next deal. The always controversial wide receiver did not exercise his player option, but its inclusion demonstrates that he is keeping his options open. However, he has expressed that he wants to stay in Arizona, and that it is simply a matter of working out the details. Agreeing on terms is the final barrier to keeping him around, but a deal could get done at any point through the season if the management there still wants to see this Satanist speed demon in an Outlaws uniform.
Passmann has been a valuable asset in the surging Arizona lineup, which gets better and better by the year, now eyeing down an Ultimus run as soon as this year if things go according to plan. He is the wide receiver of the future, a guy who has worked incredibly hard on and off the field. It is his diligence, quick learning, and work ethic that compensate for his antics in the city, making it worth keeping him around despite the mountains of trouble he creates for his home city. He has been unique in his speed and his vision since his days with the Tijuana Luchadores in DSFL; it is tough to see why Arizona would not want to keep such a great talent around, especially when he still has quite a few years left before he will be aging and regressing. The only concern is whether the FBI will bring further charges against him, with yet another first degree murder investigation staring him down. It seems like he is accused of another grisly murder or terrible attack every week, though there has been a brief reprieve since a kidnapped man was found at his luxurious house a little more than a week ago. How charges haven't been filed on that front is beyond this reporter; someone pretty high up in the Justice Department had to be bribed, probably more than once. There is nothing the corrupt politicans and bureaucrats like more than having their pockets lined by a crooked famous person.
Back to the topic at hand, the Passmann camp is awaiting to hear an offer from Arizona. They say that they are willing to play ball and get down to business, working out what needs to be worked out to keep him with the organization for another season. A multi-year extension is certainly on the table from their side, they indicated, suggesting that Passmann would be quite happy to spend his entire career with the Outlaws. He would like to be the face of the franchise, the terrible villain lording over this Southwestern club, the star receiver that scores big and gets the important touchdowns. It does not seem that Arizona would be looking to get rid of him; after all, they haven't traded him. Perhaps they are just looking to see if he shows up in the playoffs. Playing well in the postseason is a big deal when you're looking to contend and you're in your championship window. If he can perform under pressure and keep playing his game when it counts, then it should be a no-brainer to lock him down long-term, or at least for the near future. What other viable options are there at wide receiver for the Outlaws? All of their eggs are in the Passmann basket, and that might not be a bad thing; as of late, he's looked pretty darn good, and he just seems to be getting better. If he keeps up the pace, he could be looking at a hell of a career, and you have to give him points for loyalty. It is rather respectable, instead of chasing down a payday or a trophy, to stick with the team that drafting you and gave you a shot at the big leagues. Not letting fame and success go to your head is tough when you're an athlete, but he hasn't forgotten his Outlaws roots and he is staying true to them.
So what value would you expect to see from the next Passmann contract? I do not know if there is a contract length limit, but assuming anything goes, Passmann would probably be looking for a front-loaded deal preferably with at least 5 million dollars. He reportedly has racked up a great deal of debt between his legal fees, the alleged bribes to public officials, and his top-notch equipment packages that he purchases every summer. Elite gear sounds like a great idea until you're bleeding money and practically in the red in your bank; if they want him to keep getting the top quality stuff and not go to jail, they're going to have to give him a bit more financial help. He does not make as much money from cameos, media appearances, and sponsorships as some of the more famous players or the guys from the bigger market teams, and he has not cultivated much of a social media presence. His Twitter is semi-active, but it is characterized by bouts of intermittent activity. He makes a bit of money by mentioning the right thing here and there, product placement and all that, but not nearly enough; it would be tough to scrape together the kind of money he needs from there alone. This season it looks as though he will be forced to go on air and appear in the media more often, against his wishes, but he will look to avoid that in the future with his next deal. The last thing he wants is more work to do off the court, he already spends a lot of time training and now he is reportedly helping out with official fantasy league management.
We will see if this article sparks the contract conversations between the two parties and raises interest in resigning this promising, budding star. Passmann is bigger and stronger than he was before this year, so perhaps it is best to get him locked down before he posts some career high stats and his value goes up even more. Get the deal inked and in the books in a way that appeases everyone; this is a guy that can be a big part of their offensive core, and it seems like Arizona should know this. It is likely you can expect a Passmann extension, where he will finally get his payday, at least as much of a payday as the cap will allow, in the near future. It definitely seems probable that this will get done before the playoffs end, they won't want to put it off much longer. He just needs to keep doing what he does best; making crazy catches, racking up touchdowns left and right, blazing past opponents with blinding speed, and breaking tackles with his pure athleticism. That is all the fans and his coaches want to see, and that is where he truly shines. Passmann at his best is Passmann showing his pure offensive skill, putting his heart on his sleeve and his passion on display for the world to see. He may fly under the radar, but don't let that fool you. He is one of the most underrated offensive players in the ISFL and a valuable member of the Outlaws organization. The sort of player, at least on the field, that any team would be happy to have. If he does not want to test the free agent market, that is good news for the Outlaws, but it is not something you want to risk. He could certainly fetch some interest and some money from many locations if he ever did. Keeping him at home, where he says that he belongs, should be a top priority for Arizona, and there is no time like the present to start. The new season may have just started, but it is not too early to start looking at the books and looking at what it will take to have Thomas Passmann still on the roster next year.
On a final note, it will be interesting to see just what sorts of numbers he puts up. In Week 1, he looked like he was playing with a chip on his shoulder; being left exposed for expansion left him feeling like he had a lot to prove and a bone to pick with those who assessed him as not valuable enough to protect. And if he does not look like a valuable asset and a guy who knows how to play the game this season, then I don't know who does. It seems like he could obliterate his previous benchmarks this year and take his game to a whole new level. It is like he is a different player, and that must be something that the Outlaws like to see. While he was solid before, there were a few notable holes to his game, particularly his nimbleness and strength, but it looks like that is something that he has worked on in the offseason. The coaches must have found a way for him to remedy his flaws and improve his brawniness, and Passmann to his credit was willing to put the time in and do the necessary exercises to build up the right muscles and reflexes. It really seems like a worthwhile investment, like a move that will pay off on the turf and will help him to square off against the brutal, bulky guys looking to take him down off the scrimmage from the opposing side's defensive line. He is ready to fight against the best of them, and I think that difference making attribute will be what causes scouts, fans, and pundits league wide to take notice of him. You can't envy the opponents who have to try to manage him and contain his offensive runs.
If Passmann scores more, then that means the Outlaws score more; you could be looking at an empowered and embolded Outlaws offense this year. Arizona could certainly be a dark horse candidate to take home the Ultimus Trophy, the sort of team that has the talent to defy the odds and shock the football community. And you can make the case that this is, at least in some small part, attributable to the work that Passmann put in this offseason. He did was what needed for the team, and now, it is time for the team to do what is needed for him. He deserves that beautiful, rich, fancy contract after what we have seen from him recently. Reward the man for his efforts! It will be a decision that will keep rewarding the Outlaws down the line for years and years to come. He is the gift that keeps on giving, and he still has quite a bit left in the tank. There are miles to go before Passmann sleeps, and he is bound and determined to leave a lasting impression on the game. It would be quite special to see this guy's legacy on the Outlaws, to see him have the sort of career that becomes the stuff of legends, that is spoken of in whispers in the locker room and is commemorated by a jersey retirement. Whether his career will wind up being that spectacular is yet to be seen, but the only way to find out is to keep him around for his best years. You can't make judgments until you have seen how he does in his prime, at the height of his power, but that day is quickly approaching. Greatness is within his grasp, and the Outlaws can seize that victory with him, pioneering a path into the future together.
