This is driving me bonkers....

So many people, fans and ex players alike, are saying this so flippantly without considering what Jackson is actually demanding. People are acting like because he's a former MVP that he should get a blank check, but there IS a limit regardless of WHO you are. 

I guarantee you Jackson's phone has rang and he's had conversations with other teams. And I can also guarantee you that very early on in the call, the question has been ask "What exactly are you looking for?" That's absolutely how you'd start the process. 

.....And he has gotten ZERO offers. This tells me that that number is so unrealistically high, that other teams aren't even bothering to go any further until he lowers his expectations.
