...But he was 36 year old pending UFA considered declining that would only accept a short list of teams. How much can you squeeze out? I agree. Better prospects could and should've been obtained. But he returned the 1st. I would've taken the Boston package over Pitts. I don't know why Jay didn't. Hell, he ended up there anyways.
Now the Jbo trade is a different story.
