I increased my offer from $9.5m to $10m per year and he then asked for 2 years, $11m per. In theory this might not be a bug but often times a players demands drop slightly as my offers increase.

So its OK for you to low ball but he can't high ball you back? I think if your first offer was $10M you would have a deal.
