Trouba wants money $$$
After the 2017/18 season, he was asking for a $7 million salary in Arbitration, while the Jets were aiming to $4 million, a raise on his previous $3-million cap hit. They settled on $5.5M.
Last 3 years:
2016/17 - $2.5M
2017/18 - $3.5M
2018/19 - $5.5M
2019/20 - RFA
2020/21 - UFA
So it's not the team or location, it's simply money. WPG pays him, I believe he stays. Problem is their limited Cap Space.
This is textbook for everybody who goes to arbitration lol. Player asks for an absurd amount, the team absurdly low balls, and the arbitrator meets them in the middle.
