If this is true, then it seems like Robinson wants to be elsewhere.

Everythings relative. One of the highest paid could be top 20 in the NFL...It doesn't have to mean Clements/Asomugha money. There's plenty of grey area there. Until we know what the offer was there's no way to know.

I'm way less upset with dunta than I am with Rick. How hard is it to say, "We REALLY don't want to franchise you, we want you here forever, but if we can't get a deal done before the deadline, we've got to do what we've got to do. We can't have a player like you walk away while getting squaddush in return." done. while perhaps miffed that he didn't get his deal yet, at least both sides knew what the end game was. bad form, rick. bad form. Right move, but bad form.
