Yes. Guy is clearly only looking for max contract. Not sure Poles goes with it.
Yeah, strikes me the same way.
He will get his money. But it may be with a new team. But he will get his money. Poles can tag him and pay him $18.8 million. My hope is that he and JJ can come to an agreement though. JJ bet on himself and won. That ship has sailed and now if Poles wants the guy longer term he needs to pay up. Actually the team needs JJ far more than he needs the Bears. (JMO)

Yeah, he is good but he is not cheap. Cheap and good usually do not live together well

Feels like the conversation went like this:
Poles: JJ, we want to pay you but the impact plays aren't here how about $2 an hour? JJ: Well, I'm better than that so how about $4 an hour? Poles: But we need to see more! JJ: Hold my beer.
---time passes and the season ends--
Poles: Hey JJ just checking in, how does $4 an hour sound? JJ: Nah, how does $6 an hour sound?

how about 4.50 8p
Got to be the ghost of George Halas..He'd offer $2.25 and say he was taking 0.25 off every day JJ didn't sign.
