No one is crying. lol. Agreed, Jenkins has done nothing in the NFL. With these reports about Roquan biting on playaction more than typical Flus linebackers do you feel the same about him? If Flus says he isn't a fit, do we let Roquan walk?
Again Quan is a 2 time 2nd team All Pro. It has nothing to do with what Poles wants. A case can be made to keep him and a case can be made to trade him. If he wants 20m a year and I can get a 2nd or higher for him then personally I trade him.
They have him under contract this year and the tag the next two if they want. If I am Poles I remind him of that every day. Only person Quan hurts playing as a malcontent is himself. It’s not like this is a playoff team. It’s not like he’s a QB or WR. This is LB…. One of the most interchangeable positions in the league.
Sure but the question is less about leverage and more about what kind of culture do you want to build. One where you hold players long term futures hostage or one where you do right by them by either giving them the extension they want or trade them to someone who will.
The winning franchises like the Chiefs, Niners, Rams, Packers, Titans, Seahawks, etc all appear to extend or trade. Quan has earned that level of respect IMO.
