Responses:

you mean all the leverage. He has two years left on a frontloaded contract. They will suck with or without him, so why pay him off? -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:02 14
- The fanbase is so bad, they were looking at Tebow to sell tickets. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:05 1
  - exactly, so MJD didn't draw when he was actually playing. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06
- You're looking at this exactly backwards. He doesn't have to play at all. While they lose, the fans grow angrier at ownership. - David Aug 23, 12:04 6
  - the Jags have fans? If he doesn't pay and Kahn wants to play real hardball he sues him for 2/5's of his signing bonus and guaranteed money -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:05 5
    - What are you even arguing right now? Further nuclear winter demonstrates just how much leverage MJD has. - David Aug 23, 12:11 4
      - they will suck with or without him, so why set the precedent. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:12 3
        
        I presume that they want to put themselves in the best position to win. I find it odd that you think having him sit while they lose is good strategy. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:14 2
        
        cause than when Blackmon (or whoever) has a great season they can't point to MJD and say "see, no way we pay you" -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:15 1
        
        No. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:20
- and right now his potential fine is around a cool $1 mil -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:03 4
  - It's cute that you think he'll ever pay a dime of that. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:05 3
    - talking leverage they have on him, not that he might actually pay it -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06 2
      - It's not leverage if it's a figment of the imagination. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:09 1
        
        *shrug* the fact that they likely won't nail him for it doesn't change the fact that they could if they want to go nuclear -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:10
