FWIW, Trouba asked for $7M, the Jets countered at $4M, the arbitrator awarded $5.5. Exactly halfway.

I've had some cases in front of arbitrators where the award was way closer to my pitch than the other side's (though never exactly) but there is certainly a bias in favour of a fairly even split. Especially where the award is on one value (as opposed to a number of smaller disputes), and the amount is so subjective. I just went through one on property values, using expert appraisals, and the result was almost evenly split.
