Even worse, a lawyer.
I'm in the minority here, but I don't have any issues with the rumored offer. We're nearing the end of our window, an eventual rebuild would only be made more difficult by a bad Stammer deal. My perspective never includes loyalty to a player, I've always viewed that as kind of silly. This guy is worth many millions of dollars, he's going to live like a king for the rest of his life and this is true whether his next deal is 10m p/y, or 3 pennies per year. He got to play the game he loves for a living. I'm not going to pretend like he's some kind of victim because his last contract offer wasn't what he wanted.
No player is above the team, not Stammer, not anyone. I PREFER players play their entire careers with one team, I think it's cool to see. But by no means is any player owed that. Countless professional athletes, HOF legendary athletes, finished their careers on a team other than the one that drafted them, including Gretzky.
It's very difficult to determine what Stammer is worth, I guess we'll find out what the market thinks he's worth in a few days. But I'll say that the problem this team has is defense, and that is why Mac was brought back and appears to be Stammers replacement. People get so obsessed with offense, and seem to forget about defense. Our defense was abysmal, and it appears that JBB recognizes that better defense minus Stammer makes us a better team than keeping Stammer and continuing to have bad defense. We literally just saw what that looked like.
It will be several months, and many more moves, before we know the full ramifications of letting Stammer walk if that does indeed happen. For me it's not as simple as "he's our captain give him what he wants, it's not possible for the team to be better without him". Nah, I can't get behind that.
