I have no insight on the situation. But to me this delay doesn’t feel as much as about a buyout as it does about who will pay what.
It’s a cat and mouse game. Gattis is owed money right? Right. Let’s say his contract is 100% guaranteed, this means if Miami fires him he would collect full payment… but if he were to get hired, Miami would pay the difference.
Realistically this has to be the ONLY issue. I don’t think it’s a matter of not having it, but more not wanting to pay an employee who was ****** at his job if they don’t have to.
