and while money talks and moving home is also nice, does a pending UFA really want to join that team?


(I'm not saying this as a denial shield against Johnny going to Philly or elsewhere- could happen- but I doubt it in the situation you lay out- poor to middling team, clearing out room and then having half the guys at league minimum- I doubt that is what hes looking for, but could be wrong)
