I probably do. Some people think reporters never lie and never shill for an organization...they are totally virtuous, are always right, and that Company officials never lie to hide their own preferences or failures. The best example is draft day. All these front offices say, "he was the guy we REALLY wanted....we couldn't believe he was available." Further, some people believe that the other team's front office is virtuous, but ours are a bunch of liars. The truth is that everybody b.s.'s and I am calling b.s. that he was their top choice. They wouldn't have hired Hackett if Wilson was their top choice.
Seriously, what do you expect them to say, "he was our second choice....our backup plan....and we finalized the deal after we found out we couldn't get AR12?!?!" They would have said the same thing about Cousins or anybody else they traded for.
You seem to discount the possibility that AR12 and/or his people were talking to the Denver front office and/or to AR12's favorite person in football, Hackett, the Denver head coach. When he/they gave them the courtesy of telling him they were sticking in Green Bay, they had the opportunity to execute a contingency plan.
