Jake Liscow: 作为一名长期关注猛虎队的球迷，我感到非常沮丧。球队似乎总是陷入合同纠纷，即使在明星四分卫Joe Burrow时代也是如此。这次Shamar Stewart的合同问题再次浮出水面，原因在于球队试图加入一项新的条款，该条款可能导致未来保障金失效。更令人担忧的是，这位新秀因为合同问题而缺席训练，这无疑会影响他的发展。我们必须深入分析猛虎队在合同谈判中的历史和文化，才能理解为什么这些问题总是反复出现。 James Rapien: 我也认为猛虎队在合同谈判中存在一些问题。这次Shamar Stewart的案例再次印证了这一点。球队似乎总是坚持自己的估值，不愿妥协，导致谈判拖延甚至破裂。此外，球队似乎不太关心公众形象，即使球员公开表达不满，他们也不会改变立场。这种强硬的谈判风格虽然有时能为球队争取到一些利益，但也会损害球队与球员之间的关系，甚至影响球队的整体表现。我认为猛虎队需要反思他们的谈判策略，更加灵活和人性化，才能避免类似的纠纷再次发生。
