Except he'll be a UFA. I was expecting either a 1 year contract or a 5 year contract.
It seems clear he wanted quite a bit of money to forgo UFA years. I guess when you get this close to UFA, it's hard not to want to increase your leverage.
He could easily be a tough sign next year.
I'm assuming on a long term deal he wanted something starting with a 5.
