I don't know if "worked up" is right, but for close to 20 years it's always dysfunctional. Always. So this report rings true because this is how it usually goes. It also tracks that Russ is still involved and the guys responsible for the extension are the ones that want to get out of it.
This fits, these guys have never had a plan and jump from one thing to the next with no real idea what they want to do. Will spend out of their minds for a tight end but run for the hills on middling QB money.
