Based on some recent contracts, I don't think $6.5m is at all unreasonable for him.
As for the bold, the exact opposite could also be said: based on two contract disputes, it looks like the Avs don't appreciate him and are unwilling to treat him fairly.
Not trying to start an argument here, just pointing out that there are two sides and judging O'Reilly simply because they can't agree is pre-mature, IMO.
