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.
