THey didn't allow other teams to dictate the contract terms. They made a $ 1 million offer. The Broncos outbid them. The Texans matched.
In the scenario you push for, we offer 1.5, and then are in a wide open URFA situation next year with no rights of first refusal. That means next year we'd be far more at risk of other teams dictating to us then we were this year. This year we had a the choice clearly on our side. Nothing dictated or forced. We had full control the whole time. That's what first refusal rights mean.
