Yeah its clear that there has been some sort of stare down going on throughout this thing.
I highly doubt he goes over seas though, that threat rings hollow when he could get injured playing elsewhere and kiss his earning potential goodbye.
His agent, as i have stated, looks like a guy who has opened a relatively new agency and Sam is his biggest name client by a fair margin. I do wonder if the agent isnt trying to make a name for himself on the back of Bennett...which is horrible to think about but hardly anything new in the agent/client business in any industry.
Bad advice could not only derail Bennetts season, but could have reprecussions throughout his short term career and possibly longer.
Sam has little to no leverage in this negotiation and it appears that he is not aware of that. Staring down Treliving will rarely work out in your favor.
