I'd love to see Bennett as much as the next guy, but from a long-term perspective it just makes no sense to burn a year off his ELC.
Bennett would be a year later but yeah it's still tough to swallow 5 possibly huge contracts coming up within a year of each other as Giordano and Russell need going to get paid in the same year as Mony and Johnny as well.
