I think that Jontler's point was that since he had submitted an offer previously, when he returned to negotiate with Neef he was receiving the same counteroffer that he received from the point of his initial offer onward. Meanwhile, as Free Agency moved along, Neef's negotiation demands were dropping with everybody else who had not yet made any kind of previous offer.
