Atkins did mention the door wasn't completely closed on EE but they would need to get "creative". I wonder if EE would entertain a 1 year deal. I think, like alot of players, the struggle with signing EE is you are giving up big money AND a draft pick and the trend league wide seems to be against giving up draft picks especially for older players. Wonder if Jays and EE could find some traction on a 1 year deal and he can try again next year when there isn't a draft pick attached to him.

Probably not likely, but it's intriguing.
