saklr1,

Why is it automatically Indy who is to blame? That’s a giant leap to just assume it’s the Team and not the Agent.

Word has been that the talks have advanced well and a deal could come at any time. There isn’t a “hold out”, more demands, etc… it’s simply crafting a deal for the #1 pick which takes time.

Patience.

Luck looks like he should be playing a banjo somewhere in the backwoods of West Virginia!

I am pretty surprised that someone that graduated from Stanford and is obviously a very smart person would be foolish enough to hire a family member as his agent. Now all he needs to do is hire his best friend as his accountant and open a restaurant.

Yeah, it has to be tough to iron out the contract when the owner has already publicly committed to $20 million over 4 years. I’m glad he wants to just play football and leave the contract negotiations to his uncle agent, but let’s face it–all he has to say is, “Uncle, let’s wrap it up today. OK?” and everything would be done.

“It’s the right approach to have his agent handle things” wrote the lawyer turned sports commentator.

It’s definitely “Uncle-Agent”

There is plenty of time before training camp.

Come on Indy. You went all in with this guy, so go all in with him on the contract. What’s the problem?

I was hoping we had seen the last of the rookie hold out nonsense with the new CBA.
