IF we did indeed offer him a 5 year 35 mil deal with 17 mil guaranteed, and he took a lesser deal, than the whole wanting stay was wrong. However given we do not throw the ball as much, and now he is in a throw first offense, he can get more opportunities and maybe more stats. Hard to argue. This is one of the reasons I am concerned about Rw. He will never be able to be great or considered great in our offense as is. SO he might look to leave to go to a more pass orientated team. Not to mention we have shown little drive to improve the offense beside Harvin. O-line sucks at pass blocking has for 2 years and we have not done much to improve that. Now we are down a WR and punt returner.
Come on it's obvious that we either offered him far less or nothing at all. It's Detroit think about that.
The 5/35 is probably a typo/misremembrance.
More likely we offered him 5/25 with 10mil guaranteed.
There is no way we offered more than 5mil per year.
Personally, I hope this leads to us collectively hearing we very, very soon (within the next few days...) that we decided on paying Doug Baldwin instead.
