Reddick telling the Jets and the Eagles he's not playing for them unless they pay him more money does not meet the requirements of extortion.

I'm unaware if the Eagles have received any compensation for trading Reddick to the Jets, but I'm not advocating for the Skins to make a deal with the Jets to acquire Reddick. I presonally believe Reddick has went about trying to get paid in the wrong way. He has very little if any leverage due to the contract he signed with the Eagles n has followed him to NYJ.

Falsely accusing a player of a crime while advocating that the entire league engage in the act of collusion is a bad look, G. What do you care if any other teams in the league not named the Skins acquires Reddick n reworks his contract more to his liking.

I just gave the definition and explained how it fits. While it is not the legal levle of extortion, it still fits.

The Eagles received no compensation because it was a conditional pick.

Nobody isclaiming a crime has been committed. Extortion is simply a word that can be criminal. I am not suggesting teams collude. I am suggesting that managers understand without talking to each other why it is a bad idea.

Nope…demanding more money after a team trades for you or refusing to play and meet your contractual requirements does.
I see, so your perspective is one based in honoring a contract, correct?

So in other words Gonzo is getting beat technically. :hmm:

Lolololol. Yes, for example he gave up a TD to garrett wilson in the jets game, but even then the coverage was tight. From what i remember he was on wilson like glue up until that point. We've already seen what wilson did to forbes. Hey, Forbes could change my mind with his hitchhiker technique he will have to use this game. Let's give him a thumbs up

Not sure if he can still run, but he's waiting for a contender. Still holding out hope for Forbes.

The pick was conditional and figured a player wouldn’t pass up 16 million for a small raise. This will kill Reddick’s future income as well.
From what I read the conditions were if he plays a certain number of snaps the 3rd converts to a 2nd, that was the condition. But if he never reports does that void the deal? If this is so at what point in time does that kick in ?

What an idiot he is, he will never recoup the money he is losing and will continue to lose as there is no end in sight.

Honor the contract with the ability nullify it. We all know the guaranteed money up front covers the player.
So, the question now becomes, who gets to nullify the contract without being called an extortionist, correct?

How exactly is Reddick intimidating Jets management. Is he showing up at practices or at someone's house unannounced? Is he intimidating Jets management family members? Is he calling or texting anyone Is Reddick using a proxy? So Reddick is intimidating them by having no type of contact with the Jets FO whatsoever.

And what you describe in post #77 far as what the league should do. Fits at least 2 of the 3 eessential actions of collusion. Competitors meeting with one another. Competitors conspiring together for the purpose of achieving an asgreed upon desired result.

It is obviously allowed for the team to terminate a contract or else there wouldn’t be guaranteed money involved.

Shit you are right. It is a third. How did I miss that?

You seem to think intimidation is only physical. Reddick does have a contract with the NYJets. It is the same one he had with the Eagles.

Where did I suggest the teams meet with each other? I figure people are smart enough not to to pay an extortionist.

It works most of the time. We saw it with Aiyuk just a month ago.

And you still seem to be coming to grips with what extortion means and why it was over the top hyperbole to use in the first place.
