Now that I have officially tagged him, I will field offers for him. I have an offer already that quite like, just seeing who else is interested. PM me.
Why is that? And PSG, you really think Jennings is worth 10+M? I don't know if anyone will take him tbh...
Really? Hows that? I havent mentioned the team or the offer. Just that I have one. Maybe I am bluffing. But you and Paul sound like two guys who want Jennings but arent willing to match the current offer.
The reason it could be viewed as being used as leverage is because like you said youre floating it out there that you have an offer like youre daring someone to beat it.
I havent said what the offer is or who made it. It could be anything or nothing. I have talked to several teams about Jennings and all of them know I will continue to shop him until the deadline. You guys can try and stir up sh*t and accuse me of whatever kind of under-handedness all you want. I know Im doing nothing wrong and so do the teams Im dealing with. If you are interested in Jennings PM an offfer. If not, find someone else to accuse of shady GMing.
I didnt accuse you of anything so put the claws away big guy. I just merely gave a viewpoint on why it could be viewed as "leveraging"...
well... I think it's similar to what I'm going thru with Steven Jackson / Danny Amendola. Teams are interested in each player via free agency, clearly. But they don't want to give up anything near a 1st or whatever. One particular team is offering a "low" amount of draft picks for Jackson. But I think I'll just let him test free agency as I'll run the risk of him possibly netting me a higher compensatory pick than what he's offering. Neither player are in my plans, unless I change my mind. Which has been known to happen. On second thought...
I think it is similar. Only difference is I guess, is that I have an offer (2 actually) that I will take if nobody offers more.
I do have an offer on Jackson. But like I said, it's really low and I think I can get more via a compensatory pick. It's worth taking the chance.
Yeah. Same difference. What Im saying is I have an offer I like and will take if nothing else comes up.
Gotta bring it a lot harder to even get into my Top 3. There's the Teflon scrap, The Vengeful scrap and the king of em all the UCF Chris 7-11 scrap. And that's just the past week! ;p Hell the Boik/Yoda Sam Shields scrap doesn't even make it in there ;p
Easy, killer... I said if it were me. Luckily for you it's not me so you don't have to worry about it. You are using that team's offer publicly as leverage... you don't have to mention the team to do that. If it were me, I'd prefer you to use the offer as leverage through PM. Again, that's just me.
But I'm not. I've never said what the offer is or who it is from. Some of you have speculated, but I've never confirmed anything, All I said is I have an offer. For all anyone knows, I'm full of sh*t. I have never once compromised any team or any offer. It's not like I've been making deals in private and now am all of a sudden coming public with my plan to tag and trade Jennings. I've made that plan very public pretty much from the start. And anyone who has been paying attention for the last month would know that. ANd every team I've dealt with knew I was actively shopping him and would continue to so. Some of you are acting like you're trying to sabotage any deal I might potentially have just so I will fall back to one of your low-ball offers. (That's a general statement and directed specifically at you, GIK). So go ahead and continue to act like I'm doing something I'm not, It's all good.
Watch it bub, I'm going to be the first guy to ever win an award who didnt participate. Remember all, vote jaded mods vs Fin-O for feud of the year.
it's okay to admit... this is much less embarrassing than van admitting to having a small *****. I don't think we've heard from him (or his *****) since
You said you had an offer of a second round pick from a nameless team... I don't see how you can dispute that. On February 25th, here's your exact quote.
Well there is the proverbial hand in tbe cookie jar. Or maybe I said that so guys would up their offers. Either way, I think the most important thing would be not saying who the team is. Also, you suck.
