I bet he plays out the 2 years in CO. That big contract is going to be tough to move for cap teams, and I doubt young teams are going to want to deal for a pending UFA; even if they pre-agree on an extention, it probably depresses ROR's value. These days, you only see big contract for big contract deals... I think the writing on the wall here is ROR plays out his 2 years in CO then leaves via UFA.
