You saying things don't matter doesn't make it so. All of what I mentioned matters in contracts negotiations. Yannick will be looking for all of the above in contract negotiations. 

You can keep taking about this mythical deal that you have somehow determined is the fairest possible offer Yannick should have taken but it's not based in reality.

Neither are Yan's expectations.  He thinks he's the best DE in football - he's not.  He thinks he should be the highest paid DE in football - he shouldn't be.

I think Yan deserves a big payday as much as the next guy, but I'm with the team here... The guys "setting the market" finished their rookie deals, and they were seriously overpaid.

Agreed, the value of a player is what the market will bear and my guess is no one would pay him what he's supposedly expecting. Nothing wrong in negotiating but he's going to be playing for 2.whatever mil this year when he could be making in the area of 20. Partly that's the player's fault but dude is getting bad advice from his agent too.
