What was their offer?

Did it include Goedert or Ertz?

I believe it was Ertz. But I don't recall his name being thrown out there in particular. I do know that a pair of 1st RD picks were turned down. They could very well be thinking of trading him off still but they're pushing it up to the deadline as much as they can to see if they can get even more value out of a trade with someone. Makes sense. 

I think Khan is just trying to keep a good public image for his Franchise. Players will come and go. As will coaches. Owners tend to stick around forever since they're obviously invested in it for the long haul. It's interesting that we've seen comments made now publicly from just about everybody EXCEPT for Dave Caldwell and Tom Coughlin. 

It's smart business. Then after they trade him Khan can always say "Hey, I offered him a king's ransom on paper. He didn't want it. And I cannot force a player to stay here if he doesn't want to be here. So we did what was best for our team, our fans and this city and for Jalen and his family". 

Good PR.
