QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

[table=width: 630, align: center]

[td=align: center]

"The competitor in me wants us to have the best team possible right here and now. I'm not hoping we have a contending team in two or three years. But at the same time, even though it's hard to say because it kind of goes against myself, I feel so much for this organization, that whatever path they take, I'm in. I made a commitment to this organization a few years back. It was a big decision in my career. I hope they have the same commitment to me. I guess it would really be up to them if they have another idea, but I don't. I want to be here. I want to play for one organization. This one. I love it here. I want to be here and battle through the ups and downs, the good and the bad. It's important to me."
