But the fact this was LAST WEEK says a lot about what has really been going on behind the scenes and I think it speaks lout volumes about why Frank was so dismissive of Andrew working out in the warm ups last week- he was a Colt in name only by that time and I would say that's been the case for months as they worked out these terms.
These are some of the brightest financial guys going right- top paid GM's, top paid agents, this isn't some 3/4th string guy that breaks and arm prior to the season and he and the team strike some small injury settlement so he can have a little money in his pocket while searching out a possible team.
Nope- for a top 5 player in the league to basically reach an INJURY settlement LAST WEEK, man this has to have been in the works for a long time. I doubt Andy's agent called up Ballard last Tuesday and said "give us $24 Mil and we'll just ride of into the sunset" and Ballard said "yessir".... this has to be the result of a bunch of back and forth over some protracted period of time...
Again, to me, this looks like a long con by a con artist basically extorting his club for cash.
I have gone from loving this guy as the 2nd coming, a savior of my favorite team to despising him in the span of about 18 hours!

This was reported today. The first day of this week. Late last week would have been Thursday or Friday. They had planned to make an announcement today at3 pm but the story leaked so they did it last night.
