I was thinking more in the $1.2 mil range, but point taken. The team needs every bit of that $6.3 mil. It'll be expensive to have another team bite on the last year of that contract.
It's bothered me all year that the first "face of the franchise" after Jarome would probably not be with the team in the fall, now it sucks to realize that in all likelihood we've seen the last of him.
