Looks like we are stuck with Howard, for now

I hope you are wrong as I am planning to come home for a couple of games anyway next year considering it may be my last chance to see them there(unless they move here to San Antone).

But I think this is a legit demand from Howard and a hold up in the trade. I think there is NO WAY he wants to get less than what Wistrom got, and truly he is a better player. The problem is Wistrom was overpaid, plain and simple. But that set the market. Now no way in hell Dallas or NEw Orleans wants to pay that much, and the Cowboys aren\'t gonna trade for him without a signed deal in place. Therein lies the non-completion up to this point of this deal. So we can blame Seattle. Hopefully they step in and make the deal since it\'s their faults anyway. The report also says Howard wants a percentage increase from what Wistrom got so that tells you right there he ain\'t playing for less or the same amount as Wistrom, he flat out wants more.
