It won't work trying to be demanding with THIS Front Office. They will pay you what you are worth, not much more and
not at the expense of losing any of the other guys we have to pay.
Bates should know this, the agent should know this, but hey I am just glad we drafted Daxton Hill and Tycen Anderson.
They will just be getting more reps if Jessie doesn't show up and be more pro ready sooner.
