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 .

How many arbitrations have you been in? It's absolutely the correct way to go to make a credible argument and not be ridiculous, merely as an arbitration strategy. And as a negotiation strategy, a huge lowball like than was obviously dumb. They didn't save much money at all, and maybe poisoned the relationship.
I bet you thought Treliving lowballed in dealing with his RFAs.
