No actually the release was Synder's idea and was never officially agreed to from the Skins perspective. So you can't say that Gibbs lied because he didn't.

He was getting paid enough that he didn't have the right to put the team in this position. Plus he had the second most balls thrown his way in the NFL. Plus Gibbs promised him they were making wholesale changes to the offense. Plus Ramsey would be starting which would automatically make it better in terms of downfield attack. Lots of pluses there.

First it is alleged (and not by super reliable source) that they either removed the offer or lowered it. It didn't make any sense for them to do that since he was getting little action. They had to think their offer was the best he was gonna get. Why lower it? Thye probably didn't. That wa speculation.
Second they lost him for more like 4 million when you account for the higher first three years of salary. This is a common ploy perfected by our very own Redskins to steal a FA away. We always backload deals on current players to keep cap room. It is planned out years in advance. Vikings made a good move to frontload it knowing we wouldn't do it.
