Craig was the one who was "it's done, we're going to get this done" when asked about resigning Johnny. He then said it hit him hard and he sat in his office quietly to think about it.
I think that's a hard lesson that he's now learned that it's not just about the dollar value but you need to manage the perception and how you treat the player the whole time they are in the organization to nudge them back to your side when they are very much on the line and down the wire. Also - better planning and contingencies are needed.
