Come on now, this is the business side of the game. Right now they are only doing workouts to "get into shape". And both guys are known for their hard work and all.
I was actually happy Duanta is not here, he is at a speed camp, good. He needs to be able to work on regaining the quickness he lost. This will only help.
BTW when will a team get smart and hire a speed guy to work out with it's players.
And I heard a radio interview with one of the OL guys from somewhere, and the big guys are coming up with a camp for them to get work on drills especially for them.
Lastly, this is all Negotiation 101, is wait the other guy out. And going public is the a way for the players to pressure the management.
Right now Rick Smith is doing OK, Duanta turned down a very nice deal and his leverage was taken away, now he is pissed. Oh well. Should have signed that huge deal when it was offered. What if the team drafts a younger version, bye bye leverage.
Ryan's is due, and IMO gets a big deal before the start of the season. Right now the GM is working on the draft, then it's filling out a roster, then and only then will he have time to work on these deals.
