On Tuesday night he probably thought he was leaving $8-12M on the table, but knew it could also end up anywhere from $0-20M.

I doubt he feels that way. He got to a slightly better place [for him] for a little less money than he hoped.

No, probably not. Simple miscommunication seems most likely here. I doubt JG said if you get to 10.5 I'll sign. Each side just filled in the blank as seemed natural to them (if we give them this number then they'll sign vs. if they give us that number then we'll make a final decision)
