If Mayock discovered Mike's talent, reported it to his boss, and then tried out Mike in an informal way, then this is Mayock's credit.

If it was the assistant coach who discovered Mike, then he could be regarded as Mike's benefactor, and he would still be doing his job from coach to manager. In short, he must be credited.

But it's different now.

Mike was ordered by the owner of the Raiders to go out for a tryout. No matter how tortuous the process was, it was still something the owner ordered, so the manager and coach would only have to work hard.

Mark Davis is the one with the discerning eye. Mayock and Gruden just carried out the boss's will. The difference is huge.

So why did Mark Davis change his tune so quickly? It wasn’t that he wanted to take credit from his subordinates, but that in the professional sports industry, what does it feel like as a boss to be able to unearth hidden talents?

reputation.

There are dozens of NFL owners. Are there any owners who can personally discover a genius? No, not one.

So now, unless Mark Davis is crazy, he will never admit that he just said it casually and did not take Mike seriously at all.

From now on, Mark Davis will definitely say that he saw Mike's potential. He let managers and coaches try out Mike's potential, and all other possibilities are completely non-existent.

So Gao Guang no longer has to worry about his lies being exposed, never.

Then, now an embarrassing problem occurs.

Mark Davis really wants this false reputation. False fame may not be valuable in other industries, but in the sports industry, false fame is money and everything.

But Mark Davis doesn't have Gao Guang's phone number. He must keep Mike now, but he can't contact Mike, and he can't ask for Gao Guang's phone number. In short, if he wants to contact Mike, he still has to find it.

Go to Victoria Club.

After all, things ended up like this because Mike was strong enough.

If you don't have the ability, there's no need to talk about it, but then again, if Mike has the ability, he can't get into the NFL. He can't do it himself. He spent all his savings and couldn't get into the NFL. Since he broke his coach's six ribs, then...

Completely bid farewell to the professional arena.

In this world, there are always horses with a thousand li, but not always Bole.

Of course, Gao Guang is this Bole. He doesn't have Bole's vision, but he has Bole's strength.

After a lot of hard work, and so on, it didn't seem that hard, but after putting in a lot of energy and highlights, Mike was finally promoted to the NFL.

Gao Guang was very happy and relieved. At this moment, he was like a loving father who sent his child to Tsinghua University and Peking University. He felt unspeakable in his heart.

In Mayock's office, coffee was served respectfully, and the head coach also came. He wanted to see Mike's performance, but he also wanted to ensure that Mike would stay.

"Sir, can we talk about Mike's contract?"

The contract was brought up by the head coach, but Mayock didn't want to negotiate the contract so quickly because he told the boss, so he had to wait for the boss's call.

So Mayock winked at the head coach and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's have a cup of coffee and chat, Mr. Schmidt."

Looking at Gao Guang, Mayock said with a smile on his face: "What is Mike's situation now? Is he still eligible to participate in the draft?"

Mayock didn't know much about Mike's situation, but Gruden did. First of all, Mike was indeed a high school all-star, and he could have some impression on the industry. Then, Mike's deeds were too famous and too bad. Mayock was a little confused.

Check it and you will know clearly.

So Coach Gruden said from the side: "Mike was expelled from the school team when he was a freshman and was banned from the NCAA. As of this year, he has graduated from high school for three years, and the draft does not look at whether he has college experience, so in theory

Frankly speaking, Mike can definitely participate in next year's draft."

This highlight didn't know, he thought Mike couldn't participate in the draft.

Mayock nodded and said: "Yes, Mike can participate in the draft, but he will definitely not be able to play this season because the free agent market has been closed."

Wait, if you can participate in the draft, it will be next year, and Mike needs to recover and work hard on his skills. In this case, s.

Gao Guang fell into deep thought.

What the coach and manager said is correct. In theory, Mike can indeed participate in the draft, but there is a problem. Generally speaking, if he has not participated in the NCAA, and has not played an impressive record in the NCAA and demonstrated extraordinary talent, then he will be considered for participation.

The draft is meaningless because no team will pick him.

However, if Mike really shows great talent, wouldn't Mike just need to participate in a few draft training camps to have many choices?

Mayock and Gruden didn't know that Gao Guang didn't understand football, nor did they know that this was the first time they saw Mike's incredible performance after changing positions, but it was the first time for Gao Guang to see it, and even Mike himself didn't know.

I know that after two years of training in King's Defense, I have not become weaker, but have become stronger.

In other words, without this trial training, Mike would not even have the possibility to participate in the draft.

But no matter what, now that I have re-understood Mike's value here, the result will be different, right?

At this moment, Gao Guang's phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.

First he apologized, and then he answered the call. As soon as he got through, he heard a cheerful voice saying: "Hi, hello, is this Otto Schmidt?"

"it's me."

"I'm Mark Davis, Hi Otto, you've seen my team, what do you think of my team?"

After being so intimate that they called each other by name, Gao Guang looked at Mayock, then he smiled and said: "Hello, Mark, of course your team is great, very good."

"I'm really happy that you came to my team for a trial first, man. Although we haven't met in the club, we are definitely our own people, and you know, I will move the team to Las Vegas next year.

Vegas, this is a big football market."

"Yes, the team will definitely develop better in Las Vegas."

"Hahaha, I saw Mike's video, so to speak, Las Vegas needs a beast like Mike, uh, how about this, do you have time today? I'm in Oakland, would I be honored to treat you to lunch?

Or maybe dinner, it depends on your time."

"Thank you for the invitation, Mark. Let's have lunch. I'm going to Los Angeles in the afternoon."

"Okay, then how about this, you wait for me at the training ground, and I'll go over and meet you first and then we'll talk about it."

"Okay, then I'll see you at the stadium."

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, the phone was hung up.

Now Mayock is only grateful that he hosted the second tryout. He is very lucky.

The boss said it would be done privately. Although contacting the players privately and reaching an agreement in advance is definitely against league regulations, in Mike's case, even if he violates the regulations, he won't be discovered. It just depends on how the boss can ensure that he gets Mike.

Gao Guang smiled at Mayock and said: "Now let's talk about Mike's draft. He can't participate in this year's game, right? Then he has to wait until next year to participate in the draft."

The head coach immediately said: "Mike has talent, but his talent still needs time to accumulate into skills. Also, he has been away from the game for too long and needs the cooperation of his teammates, so he also needs the Raiders team, so he has the ability

Yes, he has a good future, but he is really not suitable for playing games right away, so I suggest that he start training, and there is no need to attend training camps to appear in front of many teams, and he can just train with our team."

Mayock smiled and said: "Let's ask Mr. Davis to talk about these, um, but keeping Mike on our team is definitely the best choice."

Gao Guang was not in a hurry, he just wanted to know a little bit about the draft and the contract before talking to the boss. Who didn't understand him?

You still need to listen to the coach’s professional opinion.

Just how to do it specifically?

Gao Guang looked at Riccardo. Riccardo was sitting, but when he saw Gao Guang's eyes, he immediately stood up and said to Mayock: "Then let's talk about Mike's signing bonus and the draft pick.

Position, draft pick affects the value of a player, and we can give up a lot of due benefits, but this requires the Raiders to show sincerity."

The situation is different now. Now we are no longer begging for the Raiders. Now Mike is a rare commodity. If we cry and beg for the Raiders again, how can we be worthy of the money invested in the early stage?

But it's not just the one million for the assistant coach, but also the money for the Victoria Club. In short, there are all kinds of things involved. Gao Guang feels that he doesn't know how to talk about it, but Riccardo, who studied law, can talk about it.

According to normal procedures, the manager would take care of these things, and the head coach would also be able to make the decision, but now, they have to wait for the boss to come.

Mayock smiled and said: "These are all easy to talk about, but we should wait until Mr. Davis arrives to talk about it."

Mark Davis arrived very quickly, in just over half an hour, wearing a suit and a neat suit.

About fifty years old, very energetic, not too fat, but quite big, Mark Davis looks like a typical successful person.

After shaking hands with Gao Guang, Mark Davis said directly: "Nice to meet you. Come to my office and let's talk alone."

Mark Davis has his own office, and he only invited Gao Guang. After the two people sat down in the office, Mark Davis immediately smiled and said: "When the club approached me, I really didn't expect that they were going to

I sent a genius, thinking that just like before, some kid with unrealistic dreams wanted to experience the terror of a professional player, but..."

Shrugging, Mike Davis smiled and said: "Things shouldn't be so troublesome. Maybe it's because we're not familiar enough. Mr. Schmidt, I haven't seen you in the club before."

Gao Guang smiled and said: "Mr. Davis, I just came into contact with the club not long ago, and I haven't had time to get to know a boss like you. In fact, this matter is not troublesome now. Since we have come to the Raiders for trial training, we must be optimistic about this team."

The team's.",

With a smile on his face, Mark Davis suddenly said: "We are all members of the club, so many things will be easier to handle. In this way, through the club as the guarantor, I will pay part of the money privately and let Mike take the first round and the

The second-round draft position is retained. This is something that money cannot buy. We can choose other players to strengthen the team. In order to make up for Mike, we are willing to spend 2 million to compensate him. What do you think?

How about it?"

There was no intention to talk to Mike at all. Mark Davis directly regarded Gao Guang as someone who could make the decision for Mike. Gao Guang thought about it and said: "What about this, I need to ask Mike's opinion, if he doesn't care about the draft position.

, then it’s okay for him to be selected in the seventh round. If he hopes to be selected in the first round, well, then I’m sorry.”

Mark Davis thought for a while and said: "I want to see Mike's performance again and make a decision later, okay?"

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "Of course."

The business was settled in a few words, and it was time to talk about personal relationships. Mark Davis smiled and said: "My father is a professional sportsman, and he left the Raiders to me. In addition to mainly running the team, I also

Engaged in some financial work, oh, speaking of which, can you tell me who your introducer is, maybe we know each other."

Gao Guang smiled and said: "Ms. Sara."

Mark Davis looked surprised and said: "Ms. Sara, oh, God, that's really not an outsider. I have had business dealings with Ms. Sara."

In terms of assets, Mark Davis is not good, far behind Miss Sarah.

When he called Gao Guang from the Victoria Club, Mark Davis knew that Gao Guang and he were of the same class, but knowing that Sara was Gao Guang's introducer, he knew there was a gap in his own abilities.

So now it's no longer about a player trade, it's now about multiple friends and multiple paths, and Mark Davis has to re-evaluate how much he has to pay to keep Mike.

Now and then, the requirements for high-gloss are not high, just get the money Mike spent back and earn some more on the way.

Now this business is purely up to Mark Davis, and he has to win it.

Selections are very important, especially the first and second rounds. No one knows Mike's value now. If Mike can give up his draft position and be selected after the third round, it will be of great benefit to the Raiders to strengthen their strength, but two hundred

It seems that it won't work anymore.
