"The point that I am trying to make is that Jonah didn't figure out plans from the coaches - he figured it out from a tweet and a teammate contacting him." What? He didn't know about the signing until he saw the tweet, he didnt seem to clarify what the player told him.
You're right. He found out on Apple News. The teammate was only asking if he had spoken to the FO. Still, that doesn't change the overall point.
Quote:There is absolutely no reason for a FO to contact a player prior to finalizing a deal unless the player openly wants to be moved as well. The FO office likely felt the coaches contacting him was enough after the deal was done, they have him under contract it is the coaches who will handle the position move.
Others have also stated reasons why the FO should NOT have contacted Jonah prior. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept?
It's not a difficult concept. Again, I'm not necessarily stating that they should have contacted him prior to the signing itself. The only thing I am going to argue is that they could have, and should have, contacted him prior to it going public. Someone, anyone. The whole thing likely would have gone over much smoother.
At the end of the day, we got the same result. Jonah is here for one more year and has agreed to play RT. At this point, all is well. I just think that the communication over to Jonah could have been smoother. They have been doing a stellar job recently and it is out of character for them to handle it like that.
