I think the fact he called Bill personally instead of his agent was a huge thing and that probably set the alarms off in coach's head that McCourty wanted to stay.Id love to have been listening to that phone call between Devon and Bill. Makes me wonder was Bill just leveraging Mccourtys loyalty, then caved on the price once he realized he was going to sign elsewhere? Bill dosnt strike me as the kind of guy to change his mind over a phone call or make an emotional decision last minute. Bill probably said OK Mccourty is probably the type of guy to give me a best and final, if we are within X amount of dollars we will make it happen.
