That also insinuates the player set their arb ask exactly what they thought their value was and didn’t pad for the same strategic reasons . The Jets knowing he’s worth closer to 6 then 2.5 are probably willing to pay him 5.25 vs the 5 (making up numbers) they were offering
The Jets didn’t low ball him , they submitted an arbitration number . Which side blinked first based on the numbers submitted …. Who
Knows .
It’s a negotiation that settled before the arb. I don’t think either sides strategy was stupid .
