Based on what I heard in the podcast, he was very willing to sign. He even came out and said that if Treliving and the organization was happy with him, then he’d be willing to re-sign. Then his agent even re-iterated when asked, that Johnny was telling the truth.
Johnny doesn’t even strike me as the greedy type, he actually turned down millions this past offseason. I really don’t think that his ask, was all that unreasonable. I bet it was probably pretty fair.
Treliving on the other hand, is as tough of a negotiator as it gets. It’s been proven time and time again. It wouldn’t surprise me ever to hear that Treliving low balled someone.
