the "whoops" is in case we pissed him off and he wanted to stay with us
it's looking less and less likely

Player agent receives contract that's way below value, has a good laugh about it with Justin Reid and says "alright Reid, go away and come back with a serious offer..." and at the same time leaks that unnamed Melbourne club has offered $1M a year.
He then says to Jake "their offer was low, but no worries it's Adelaide, they always do this and will come back with more. You worry about your football, I'll get you a good deal."
Adelaide are clearly taking a very professional, business type approach to contracts and essentially forcing the player agents to earn their keep. Now is this the right way? Perhaps not, but if Jakes not staying because of this, then he's better off leaving. Similar to talks that he spat the chewie about having to come back from injury through the SANFL. IF any of these things are true, he needs to harden up a little.
Personally I think it's all about Jake receiving a stupidly high offer which allows him to return home.
