I am now more inclined to believe that this situation was more helping COL get their guy under contract while not admitting they needed to pay him more. Meaning that Feaster and company knew for a fact that COL would match and made the offer under the knowledge of this. Which begs a couple questions to be asked, why help out a NW divisional opponent get better half way through the season? And was this more of an illusion of management making an effort to appease the fans and media knowing full well this team doesn't have what it takes and want to ride the season out to a top five pick?
