During the week it was reported<\/a> that the Lions had offered Josh Jenkins a five-year deal worth around $750,000 a year.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure about that,\u201d Caroline Wilson told Rowey and Bicks on FIVEAA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve spoken to Brisbane. They vehemently deny they\u2019ve made an offer to Josh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caro said it seemed more likely that Brisbane had simply flagged their interest with Jenkins\u2019 manager Paul Connors in the event that Jenkins’ negotiations with Adelaide \u201cgo awry\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut don\u2019t you think that Adelaide has to bear some responsibility here?\u201d Caro asked. \u201cIf they\u2019re not prepared to pay him what he\u2019s worth, then what can they expect.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a history at the Crows \u2013 if you don\u2019t mind me saying, don\u2019t get annoyed \u2013 where they are not prepared to pay a player what the player thinks he\u2019s worth and they lose them.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt some point you do have to pay a little bit more to keep some people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been occasions where Adelaide have perhaps not been prepared to go that little bit extra to pay a player and they\u2019ve lost them.\u201d<\/p>\n
