He also said he doesn't want to be tagged, and if he is he would consider skipping all offseason activities.
We're getting dangerously close to the tag becoming a reality. I believe the date it can be applied starts Feb. 25 and runs through March 14.
I know they started talking about a new deal immediately after the season ended. AJ said so. He also seemed a little more positive than he did when talks stopped during the season.
It's now 2 months later, and still no deal. They had all of last offseaon and couldn't come to terms.
Are they still far apart? Is a deal close? Will AJ be upset if he's tagged? All legitimate questions.
It's not that ridiculous to think he may want out if they can't come to a long-term deal.
