Indy had a choice, Reggie Wayne or Edgerrin James, as to which triplet to keep along with Peyton Manning.
Wayne was the keeper (see Keenan Allen.)
Edge went to AZ for the cash, and Indy won the Super Bowl.
wu is pleased at your ability to read between the lines.

We have been right up agains the cap for years so the Spanos is cheap argument is not valid. We don't know what the team offered nor what Team Gordon asked for but it appears as if they are far apart. The reality is we don't have a lot of cap space and have more important player contracts coming up so they cannot, and should not, overpay to keep him at the expense of not being able to resign Rivers and Gordon. We are a better team when he is on the field and healthy but I'm guessing he won't get close to what he wants from the team.migrated from chargerfans.net then the thenflforum.com then here

Rivers hold out. Gates hold out. Vincent Jackson holdout. Tony Martin and Natrone Means walk. Spent more to move to LA is what I usually hear than it would of cost to get something done in SD. Spanos ownership is tight, they don't have much money in NFL terms so it's understandable I guess. So you were a fan of the AJ smith bull shit contract negotiation strategies?

RB replacement ability vs QB replacement ability.
I love MG. Would love to keep him. Handcuffing ourselves with a mega deal doesn't seem wise at that position.
If we gave him a Todd Gurley type deal I would be unhappy.

Originally posted by BlazingBolt View PostLots of assuming the contract demands are exorbitant and that the team is offering a fair deal. If they weren't interested in resigning him and wanted him the one last year would this be playing out differently? I guess I kind of assume the team wants him but has been low balling him because Spanos. As long as he wants to be here and the team wants to sign him to a second contract is the situation (that is the current situation if you didn't know guys)I think the hysteria of this thread is over reaction to typical negotiation tactics with a tough negotiating team or a cheap ass owner depending on how you look at it.

Maybe the Chargers have already offered something.
Example.
4years $48mil. 12m guaranteed.
Or
4years $36mil. 18m guaranteed.
Or
4years $32mil. 24m guaranteed.
