So if he's overpaid by a million, is that a problem? we made the deal from a position of weakness trying to trade an older one dimensional player with a longer term contract who didn't really have a spot on our roster anymore. In that kind of deal a team usually has to overpay. And I think we all agree that the flames overpaid by taking on a contract that overpays Jones by a million.

But we're talking about a 1 million dollar overpayment, not a 4 million dollar overpayment. That one million isn't going to handcuff us for the foreseeable future.
Amen
