We were tickled pink to get out of his contract for basically nothing, and got throw ins.Lots of assumption in here. We have no clue how long the Mavs were shopping HB. Maybe they took the first offer like NY did with KP? Maybe HB told them he wanted to be there so out of respect, they only dealt with them? No one has a clue as to the truthfulness to that statement. Also, that’s all the more reason to hold onto him and wait for a better offer.
Who is the “we” that was tickled pink? There were some that were indifferent that wanted to wait to see what we got with the TE before they passed judgement and others, like myself, that were upset with the return value, adding to the narrative that the FO has a very hard time when it comes to negotiations.
