Add this to the miles long list of idiocy by the front office in waiting to pay a very good player. I loathe this ownership and front office, and my lack of respect for those that defend these cheap, selfish idiots could not be any lower.
That's some pretty harsh wording but you know something?...It's the truth. This front office will sign an elite player or two but never a group of elite players, I mean game wreckers, guys that can and do change an outcome of a game with a terrific play. They always claim the pie isn't big enough to go around, wasn't that Mike's comment this season? Other teams sure seem to make it happen. When they stalled on Higgins contract I said here just wait till they have to deal with the Chase contract and here we are. This front office simply refuses to adapt to today's player pay-scale and will always sign wholesale bargain players on the cheap. They did sign Trey and Reader to good contracts but let Reader walk, Bates before him. It's almost like they feel paying several elite players to today's big money contracts is against the rules (their own rules) and they are seeing the results which doesn't seem to bother them one bit. Apparently they are content with 8-9 or .500 in past years.
Watch, if they do manage to sign Chase they will not sign another elite player claiming the pie is gone and nothing left. Goodberry was right when he said the players and coaches are trying to play in the NFL with one arm because of a tight fisted front office. It's like trying to win the Indy 500 with a great car, good setup, top engine, great driver but worn out tires. And owners refuse to put a fresh set of tires on the car.
