Well here is what Jared said after hearing all of this from Reggie:

"I appreciate everything that Oakland did for me over the last four years," Veldheer said. "We just couldn't get (a contract) done. It wasn't that I didn't want to be there, because I know that's been said recently. That just wasn't the case."

Good statement. Refute, but do it with class.

I don't think Bidwill Sr. was ever cheap with the contracts as much as he was just so rigid and conservative with contracts and this team simply had no flexibility to do anything. The old man was lost in the aura of football history and he seemed to approach building a team as if it was the 60s and had no clue about free agency and the proper way to work with a GM of his selection that could build a roster under the modern age

Bidwill Sr set his family up for generations to come! Impressed I am:notworthy::notworthy:
