I appreciate Allbright telling us what he knows.

Is he making it all up? Maybe, who the hell knows for sure? But we're big kids, we can handle uncertainty in this information age with all its pluses and minuses...

Agreed, that is why he shouldn't have said anything at all. All his words confirm is that the low-ball imaginary numbers in the minds of random fans are vindicated and Donald is being a Jerk.

the writer might think $5 mill is a fair offer for Donald ... thus the Rams might be offering $6 mill ... very generous from his perspective.

furthermore, the writer might be a complete liar .. he might not have valid info to begin with ...

his source might be his wife's mother's sister's husband's brother who graduated 10 years before Donald's agent graduated from another college in the same state.

If he can't share the numbers, then he shouldn't be claiming in public that he has them

You know, I know his wife's mother's sister's husband's brother and he is certainly no Dan Quayle. 8-)

I get your point though Bob. I'll give him a bit more credit than all that but who the heck really knows.
What I do know is that AD appears more greedy after that blurb. Whether it's true or not will come out soon enough. they will either resolve and the terms will leak, or they won't and the mud will be flying. Hopefully this isn't the first volley but more a loosening of the gag order because they are close.

Allbright has been a fairly reliable source on the Rams for a long time, been around the Rams beat for a while. He's in Denver and word is he knows some of the Kroenke's but who really knows?

I tend to put stock in what he says...

In other Aaron Donald Fake News today....
Aaron Donald phoned former Green Bay Packer great Paul Hornung to get Hornung's bookie's phone number because Donald wants to bet a sawbuck on the Colts this Sunday. :o :arrow: :lol:

How disappointing. The business side of football sucks. Unless the Rams are really not offering a fair deal, I've just lost a ton of respect for Aaron Donald.

Your agent works for you and you will be rich for the rest of your life whether you show up or not. Sad.

seems a bit presumptuous, "fair" to whom? imo he should have written that the "rams believe they've made more than one very fair offer to aaron donald"...
