No, but if you kept it to yourself you'd still be employed.
It's not really a different argument because the issue here really is, who's in charge?
What's going on with DeRo now is part of a bigger issue with this team and how it has treated players. I'm not a DeRo supporter but I wish the team would be taking more flak for not being more direct with him sooner and for claiming they'd be happy to renegotiate over and over. And now it looks like they are renogotiating and I just hope when Mariner said he was "working on a deal with the league," it's because he wanted to and not that he was being told to do that by someone "higher up."
