None of us know what went on. Assuming all of that is just as bad as what you assume he did.
If our front office in the middle of fielding calls from two teams for his services thought it intelligent to put out there that he specifically wanted to go to one of them, we're fucked. We're so fucked beyond belief.
Ryan Clark isn't putting out that Jamal wanted to be a Cowboy and lying about talking to him about it at the behest of the Jets.
I absolutely do not believe that either him or his reps either didn't ask to move on or weren't putting it out there that he would love to play for the Cowboys. But there's still enough time that this all blows over if only because of the fact that they still have the leverage of having him under contract at either below or at market for the next three years.
Having said that, the price apparently was a first and two seconds. Given that they fully expect to win the division this year and the NFC is pretty wide open, if I'm the Cowboys I'd have paid it.
