Everyone involved in the negotiation knows the draft position and potential of the player, and while his lack of production to date/uncertainty will keep the dollars down, they will not give up five full years when the potential of top line, RFA dollars ($6-$8mil in the current cap climate) are there for the taking as early as next season based on performance.

I agree that I am probably giving Brad too much credit, but I am still very hopefull he will sign Benny to a 3 year or longer contract.
