Future Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 For one year, this is fine. It's term that always comes back to bite teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 For one year, this is fine. It's term that always comes back to bite teams. Indeed. Still, $8M for a 38-year old has ugly optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I know $8M for a 38 year old just coming off an injury looks bad, maybe something in the $6M range would seem more reasonable. But he's only one year removed from an 82 point season. You wouldn't pay $8M for a PPG player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Indeed. Still, $8M for a 38-year old has ugly optics. Yes and no. If you're not up against the cap, then it really makes no difference. The question is - what else were you going to do with that $8m if you didn't re-sign him? Sign a couple of third-liners? Might as well give it to him.
