is orlando pace nuts?

i know this is a bit off our usual subjets but orlando pace's agent is asking for a 7 year deal worth about 85 million dollars with a 23 million dollar signing bonus. i think that is nuts, would any of u guys pay that much for a LT? i know i wouldnt, i dont care who he is or how good he is either, what is he thinking?

He could be useful,but no one is that useful.

It\'s a tactic in negotiations. If he really wants a $12 mill signing bonus, let\'s say, then asking for $23 when they\'re offering $10 makes it easier to get to that $12 mill mark than asking $14.

yes but now that he is askin for the 23 mill and the rams tol him no his agent is asking for a trade out of st. louis to somewhere where they will give him his $$

But not $23 mill (except maybe in Washington). He wants more money. No one will give him that kind of dinero senor.

i forgot to add in there that his agent is saying that the rams arent even offering half of what they are asking, and that is Y they are demanding a trade
