Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3549138, member: 10185"] The "testing the market" quote is more diversion and stall tactics to agitate for more money (from everyone including union and the Broncs). You absolutely do not need to "test the market" to get an idea of the value of a player. There is zero doubt in my mind that Haas management has been contacted by literally every club and Union regardless of the Nov 1 negotiation limit. I also have no doubt that Haas management has reached out to numerous clubs to get an idea of what they are offering. Testing the market is literally an excuse to not re-sign with the Broncos so they can prolong this as long as possible as each team/code tries to outbid each other for Haas signature. His scum manager might be amateur and a bad influence on Haas but they are 100% doing every little thing they can to maximize Haas's earning potential, loyalty be damned (SBW helping with this narrative as well). As others have said, this has become a circus and even had the likes of Lockyer publicly stating this contract business could very well distract the team leading into the finals (same as release request last year).

Give him a deadline, give him a respectable offer ( we already have ) if he doesn't sign before the deadline, tell him we are pulling the offer and focus on the Broncos who want to be here. [/QUOTE]
