I honestly don't. Pure speculation on my part. However, they've had since the season ended. If they put "strong money" on the table now, they could've done that and hopefully wrapped this up before getting into a bidding war.

I won't be surprised if we hear about an extension a couple of hours before free agency officially opens tomorrow.

I get that. Just voicing my frustration with how all of this has been handled. We've had since week 17 to negotiate this extension. If keeping him were a priority, I would've done everything possible to get this done before other teams had the opportunity to cost us more money.
