I can't think of a football example of this phenomenon, but back in the 80s Forest had a striker called Garry Birtles. Local lad, came up through non-league football and was spotted by a Forest scout who took a chance on him - the equivalent of a UDFA. Birtles became an overnight sensation and scored goals for fun for us for a few years, then Man U came in with a big money offer and we lost him. He was absolute dogshit for them and two years later came back to Forest for a fraction of what he'd cost Man U, and as soon as he came back he was magnificent for us again. Finished his career with us and is still a local legend.

Snacks is going to be our Garry Birtles.

Then there's this, freak him again, lol :


If it truly was so back-and-forth, that would seem to imply that the offers were fairly close. Surprising, considering a two-down player isn't worth anywhere near $9 mil a year .

The Giants are going to be disappointed if they're going to use him as a 3-technique. He's not a strong enough penetrator.

You hear this excrement all the time from guys who move on. They want fanbases and organizations to feel like they were there in the end. But there's usually a reason for it, and my guess is it was something about our $5 million dollar offer vs their $8.5 million a year offer.
Need a new one for a new board...

Coupled with the fact he basically gets to continue living in the same spot, and doesn't have to uproot his family?

Absolutely.
