Terry isn’t going to sit out a game or season.
Do we agree on that?
Isn't? I wouldn't put a bet on at this stage.
Shouldn't? Be dumb if he did? Possibly Torpedoing his career? Yes.

Terry's choices are limited.
choice 1: don't take AP's best/final offer and play out this year for $19million not guaranteed, hope he exceeds last year, and stays healthy. Then hope we don't use the FT and he gets a similar or better deal than AP's final offer with his desired guarantees.
or
choice 2: take AP's best and final offer and pocket between $50 and 58Million guaranteed.
It's not rocket science to know which option he will choose, and it's not that hard to understand that he is holding out to the last minute to find out what AP's last/best offer really is.
to state the obvious: choice one would be stupid because if he's healthy and exceeds last year we are definitely FT'ing him so his max from choice 1 is 49million with serious downside risk of less playing time/injury
I don't think Terry is stupid so I am not worried that he will sign and be on the roster for game 1.

Reread your post, bro. You're basically saying there's a chance Terry is an idiot.
I don't think he is, I think he's one of the smartest players in the NFL.

Agree that Terry is a smart player, but he is not being to smart in his negotiations right now . . . delusional would be a better word.

Actually that is a pretty strong word, especially when you don't know exactly what's happening between both parties. You are literally judging Terry based on rumors...

IF he doesn't sign before the season I may re-evaluate, but all accounts show he has maintained positive relationships with teammates, coaches, and even the front office.
He has every right to state his position and his justifications, that doesn't mean he is delusional.

110% agree.
He's not that dumb and he's always been a team guy.
What's going on right now is just business, pretty standard stuff.

all delusional means is that his beliefs are far off base with reality . . . and when it comes to his worth, he is 100% delusional!!

There is a possibility, however slim. He's taking advice from somewhere, almost certainly his agents, that he can get what he's asking for, or close to it. The reality is a lot of voices are saying he won't get it and AP has no issue playing hardball with him. I think and I hope he's smart enough to listen to those other voices too and be honest with himself. But he's listened to these guys for months and nothing so far says he is definitely willing to change his mind. He is probably playing brinkmanship, I'm just not yet prepared to bet on him not being an idiot. This could and should have been put to bed already to the benefit of both parties.
