From Ed’s story on Monday:
The switch certainly adds intrigue to the situation. To me, it is a clear indication that Jones was not happy about something.
PFT says:
So what does Jones want? There are two possibilities. One, he’s willing to do a deal for less than CAA was willing to accept. Two, he wants more than CAA was able to get.
As one source explained it, it’s the latter. Jones wants more than the Giants have offered. Possibly as much as $45 million per year, or more.
The New York Post reports that Athletes First has negotiated the largest deal in NFL history (at the time) on five occasions.
