This was likely leaked by one of 2 guys--Burke or Treliving. Friedman would not release this rumour if not from one of these 2 sources. If it's coming from Burke it's a signal to Brad that performance thus far is not acceptable and a reminder that his neck is on the line if he doesn't right the ship. If Brad put this out there it's an attempt to force an extension deal (I don't see Brad going this route and Friedman's language didn't suggest this from what I heard). I see Burke sticking with Brad, but he's getting his p#%&er slapped for the poor coaching hire that has been daylighted.
