Why wouldn't it?

Coughlin has screwed over this team twice now.

Wanting something isn't realistic when there is a CBA in place. There are rules you have to follow. He tried to fight the rules because of principle and now he is finding out how stupid he is.

He lost $17 million last year and now appears he is going to lose the tag money this year. What deal is going to make up for all that money he lost? No team is going to pay him $30 million more than anyone else to make up for the money he lost.

Why are you getting stuck on a contract figure as if that was the sole reason this deal didn't happen? If they had offered him a 3 year deal worth 19 million per year with a good chunk of guarantees then I'd be all over him.

Players want guarantees in their contracts to protect against injuries. We don't know how much was guaranteed, but the rumor is that there wasn't enough.
