- A 1yr/1.5M offer, for example, wouldn't be enough, 2yrs/1M wouldn't either but both would be preferable IMO than 3yrs/800K.
- And PR, you call for rule changes every other day...wtf?
- He's not getting top offers not because he's bad or the market wouldn't bear it...if that's really the point being made you're mistaken. It's August, he's hurt until next July and he's 32...it makes no more sense for teams to be trying to sign him now than it does for him to be interested in signing a deal.
I hope your not saying that if I offered 3 years @ 800K per for an FA that a 1 year 1.5M contract would beat it.....I don't recall me calling for new rules since I have gotten back either....with me being under speculation of sign and trade I feel we've done enough to make the market the most realistic it can be. As for Ren, if the deal is for no more than 3 years I don't see the problem, even if he is injured. If he is 33 next summer and starts to perform well again, he will only have one more year on his deal before he hits FA and lands a better deal. As long as he isn't signed over 3 years I really don't see the problem.
