Question

Explain how sonny negotiates with the jacksonville general manager. How does the power of persuasion come into play?

Answer 1

Sonny ends up sharing power in a cooperative move with the novice Jacksonville Jaguars general manager. Sonny convinces them to acquire their #6 pick, so they would not look like amateurs (‘donkeys’) to the rest of the league by selecting a potential bust. This enables him to subsequently turn the tables on the Seahawks.
