Oh I agree. He's using the start of the season as a pinch point, which makes total sense.
I just think these things tend to start to become the "truth". What he has said is he doesn't want to negotiate during the season. He hasn't said he isn't interested in re-signing if not signed by the start of the season, or that he will test free agency if not signed by the start of the season.
